Fruits and vegetables contain soluble and insoluble fiber in varying proportions. When you eat soluble fiber, it absorbs water to form a gel-like mass, which helps you feel full and provides other health benefits. It prevents a surge in blood sugar after you eat by slowing down the absorption of carbohydrates.
If the blood glucose level falls to dangerous levels (as in very heavy exercise or lack of food for extended periods), the Alpha cells of the pancreas release glucagon, a hormone whose effects on liver cells act to increase blood glucose levels.
What is the hormone secreted by the pancreatic islets in response to low blood sugar? In response to low blood sugar the pancreas secrets the hormone glucagon.   Your body can be divided up into a number of compartments, the first two being the intracellular and extracellular compartments.
