    GlossaryInsulin Secretion

    process where pancreas releases insulin to regulate blood sugar

    Insulin secretion, also known as insulin release, is the process by which the pancreas produces and releases insulin into the bloodstream. This hormone is crucial for regulating blood sugar levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells, where it can be used for energy or stored for future use. The secretion of insulin is primarily triggered by elevated blood glucose levels, such as after eating.
