After a meal the blood glucose concentration rises to 8 mmol/L. The pancreas secretes insulin at a steady concentration of 5 µU/mL and glucagon at 0.5 µU/mL. Insulin promotes glucose uptake at a rate of 0.6 mmol·L⁻¹ per µU per hour, while glucagon raises blood glucose at 0.2 mmol·L⁻¹ per µU per hour. Assuming these rates remain constant, calculate the blood glucose concentration after 2 hours.
