  • Pancreas Hormones: Insulin, Glucagon & More - Comprehensive Guide
    The pancreas produces two main types of hormones:

    1. Insulin: This hormone regulates blood sugar levels by helping glucose (sugar) enter cells for energy.

    2. Glucagon: This hormone works opposite to insulin and raises blood sugar levels by stimulating the liver to release stored glucose.

    In addition to these two main hormones, the pancreas also produces:

    * Somatostatin: This hormone inhibits the release of insulin and glucagon, as well as other hormones like growth hormone.

    * Pancreatic polypeptide: This hormone helps regulate digestive processes.
