title: Hormonal control of glucose metabolism.
abstract: Glucose homeostasis is accomplished through two major hormones, glucagon and insulin. These hormones, of course, must work in concert with other permissive hormones such as glucocorticoids and catecholamines to bring about a multiplicity of physiological processes such as gluconeogenesis, glycolysis, lipolysis, and proteolysis that maintain the organism's biochemical integrity.
