4. INSULIN
Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta
cells of the pancreatic islets; it is considered to
be the main anabolic hormone of the body. It
regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates,
fats and protein by promoting the absorption of
glucose from the blood into liver, fat and
skeletal muscle cells.

5. Insulin is released from the beta cell
s in your pancreas in response to risi
ng glucose in your bloodstream. Afte
r you eat a meal, any carbohydrates
you've eaten are broken down into g
lucose and passed into the bloodstre
am. The pancreas detects this rise in
blood glucose and starts to secrete i
nsulin.
