The production of pancreatic hormones, including insulin, somatostatin, gastrin, and glucagon, play an important role in maintaining sugar and salt balance in our bodies. Primary hormones secreted by the pancreas include: 1  Gastrin: This hormone aids digestion by stimulating certain cells in the stomach to produce acid.2  Glucagon: Glucagon helps insulin maintain normal blood glucose by working in the opposite way of insulin.ancreas Essentials. 1  The pancreas maintains the bodyâs blood glucose (sugar) balance. 2  Primary hormones of the pancreas include insulin and glucagon, and both regulate blood glucose. 3  Diabetes is the most common disorder associated with the pancreas.
The pancreas is a glandular organ in the upper abdomen, but really it serves as two glands in one: a digestive exocrine gland and a hormone-producing endocrine gland.Functioning as an exocrine gland, the pancreas excretes enzymes to break down the proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids in food.Functioning as an endocrine gland, the pancreas secretes the hormones insulin and glucagon to control blood sugar levels throughout the day. Glucagon also stimulates adipose tissue to metabolize triglycerides into glucose and to release glucose into the blood. 2  Insulin is produced by the beta cells of the pancreas. 3  This hormone lowers blood glucose levels after a meal by stimulating the absorption of glucose by liver, muscle, and adipose tissues.
