Chapter 18, Problem 44RE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The chemical structure difference in glucagon and epinephrine is to be determined.

Concept interpretation:

A hormone is an important molecule that acts as a chemical messenger in the body. Apart from signaling, they also have major effects on metabolic pathways such as glycolysis and gluconeogenesis that help in the proper functioning of organs. For example, glucagon and epinephrine are the hormones that are responsible for increasing the glucose level in the body.
