Interferons help other cells resist the infection of viruses. They prevent the synthesis of a virus's proteins in infected cells and help block the virus from reproducing (replicating itself). This slows down the process of the infection <span>and gives the immune system time to respond to the virus.</span>

The hormone _____ is secreted by the cells of the pancreatic islets to increase the amount of glucose in the blood.​
Damm [24]

Answer: d. insulin

<span>Actually, there are two hormones secreted by islet cells within the pancreas: insulin and the glucagon.  However, their secretions in response to blood sugar levels, are in opposite fashion! </span>

 

<span>Insulin is normally secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas while glucagon by the alpha cells. The </span><span>amount of insulin secreted into the blood increases as the blood glucose rises.  In the same way, as the blood glucose falls, the amount of insulin secreted by the pancreas goes down.</span>

In glucagon, it is opposite. If blood glucose is high, then there is no glucagon secreted. Therefore, the answer is insulin.
