The pancreas detects this rise in blood glucose and starts to secrete insulin. Insulin works by improving the uptake of glucose from the blood across cell membranes and into the cells of the body, and so takes glucose out of the bloodstream.
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. It stimulates your cells to release glucose, and this raises your blood glucose levels. Insulin: This hormone regulates blood glucose by allowing many of your bodyâs cells to absorb and use glucose. In turn, this drops blood glucose levels. Somatostatin: When levels of other pancreatic hormones, such as insulin and glucagon, get too high, somatostatin is secreted to maintain a balance of glucose and/or salt in the blood. Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP): This hormone helps control water secretion and absorption from the intestines by stimulating the intestinal cells to release water and salts into the intestines.
