Multiple Choice Question The following graphs show blood plasma concentrations of insulin and glucose over a 24 hours period in a healthy individual. Meals were consumed as indicated at 8am, noon and 5pm. What would you expect if a third graph showing plasma glucagon concentration during this same time period was included? (Select one of the following options) a) The glucagon graph would be the opposite from the insulin graph, with peaks occurring before each meal when glucose plasma levels are dropping b) The glucagon graph would look identical to the insulin graph, with peaks occurring after each meal when plasma glucose levels are rising c) The glucagon graph would not fluctuate like insulin, and instead it would remain steady independent of changes in glucose concentration of the plasma.
