Step 1

Glucose, or blood sugar, is the primary sugar found in your blood. It is derived from the food you eat and is the primary source of energy for your body. Your blood transports glucose to all of your body's cells for energy production. Diabetes is a condition in which blood sugar levels are abnormally high. Glucagon is a peptide hormone generated by the pancreas's alpha cells. It increases the levels of glucose and fatty acids in the bloodstream and is thought to be the body's primary catabolic hormone. Additionally, it is utilized as a pharmaceutical to treat a variety of health problems. Cortisol is a steroid hormone belonging to the glucocorticoid hormone family. Cortisol is a steroid hormone that affects a variety of bodily functions, including metabolism and immunological response. Adrenaline, alternatively referred to as epinephrine, is a hormone and drug that plays a role in the regulation of visceral functions (e.g., respiration).
