Pathophysiology Chapter 20: Integrated Pathophysiologic Concepts Insulin - Anabolic hormone required for the uptake of glucose for many cells, particularly those of the liver, muscle, and adipose tissue Alpha cells - Glucagon Beta cells - Insulin and Amylin Delta cells - Somatostatin and gastrin F cells - Pancreatic polypeptide Glucagon - Insulin antagonist (anti -insulin) -Secretion is promoted by decreased blood glucose levels Amylin - Peptide hormone released in response to nutrient stimuli, co -
