Question

multiple choice question
following a high protein and low carbohydrate meal, which of the following is secreted?

glucagon only
insulin only
insulin and glucagon

Explanation:

A high - protein, low - carbohydrate meal leads to the digestion of proteins into amino acids. Amino acids can stimulate the release of insulin (which helps in the uptake of amino acids by cells) and also, since blood glucose levels may not rise significantly (due to low carbs), but the body still needs to regulate energy, glucagon (which helps in glycogenolysis or gluconeogenesis) can also be secreted. So both insulin and glucagon are secreted.

Answer:

Insulin and glucagon
