If it does not get cloudy, it will not get clear. (Albanian proverb) The sky does not rain gold or silver. (Arabic proverb) The fox can lose his fur but not his cunning. (Corsican proverb)
The endocrine component of the pancreas consists of islet cells (islets of Langerhans) that create and release important hormones directly into the bloodstream. Two of the main pancreatic hormones are insulin, which acts to lower blood sugar, and glucagon, which acts to raise blood sugar.
Thus the working muscle can take in glucose even though little insulin is present. Another hormone from the pancreas, glucagon, stimulates the liver to release glucose to provide fuel for the muscles. The pancreas secretes two hormones, insulin and glucagon, to help maintain blood glucose levels.
