The question asks, infusion of which peptide hormone will most likely prevent brain injury in newborn infants exposed to high glucose levels during their fetal development?
My reasoning was " since they're exposed to high glucose levels, then they need insulin to reduce blood glucose concentration by promoting uptake of glucose into cells" The answer was glucagon. Why is my reasoning flawed?
