Question
If alpha and beta cells in the Islets of Langerhans of the pancreas are rendered inactive in an individual, explain the affected processes in the organism.
✓

Answer

Alpha cells produce glucagon hormone. Destruction of these cells would hinder the functions of glucagon, such as gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, and lipid breakdown in adipose tissue. Beta cells produce insulin hormone. Eliminating these cells would disrupt insulin functions, affecting glycolysis, lipogenesis, RNA synthesis, and control of glucose catabolism.
