Pancreas
- Insulin
- Stimulated for secretion by raised blood glucose levels
- Increases uptake of glucose into cells
- Stores excess glucose as glycogen in the liver
- Glucagon
- Stimulated for secretion by lowered blood glucose levels
- Releases stored glycogen from liver to be converted to glucose
- Somatostatin
- Mild inhibition of insulin and glucagon; prevents wild swings in blood glucose levels
