Insulin Secretion

Insulin secretion is the process by which the pancreas releases insulin, a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels. When you eat, your blood sugar rises, prompting the pancreas to produce insulin. Insulin then facilitates the entry of glucose into cells, providing them with energy and lowering blood sugar levels. Proper insulin function is essential for maintaining healthy metabolism. In conditions like diabetes, insulin secretion may be impaired, leading to elevated blood sugar and related health issues. Understanding this process is crucial for managing and preventing metabolic disorders.
