Fruits that have the least amount of soluble fiber are grapes, watermelon and cantaloupe. They only have 0.2 to 0.4 grams of soluble fiber and less than 1 gram of total fiber in a typical serving. Oranges have the most, with one small orange providing 1.8 grams of soluble fiber and 2.9 grams of total fiber.
Glucagon â Glucagon is a hormone involved in carbohydrate metabolism. Produced by the pancreas, it is released when the glucose level in the blood is low (hypoglycemia), causing the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose and release it into the bloodstream. Gonads â A gonad is an organ that makes gametes (sperm and egg cells).
Glucagon works along with the hormone insulin to control blood sugar levels and keep them within set levels. Glucagon is released to stop blood sugar levels dropping too low, while insulin is released to stop blood sugar levels rising too high. Release of glucagon is stimulated by low blood glucose (hypoglycaemia), protein-rich meals and adrenaline (another important hormone for combating low glucose). Release of glucagon is prevented by raised blood glucose and carbohydrate in meals, detected by cells in the pancreas.
