List the Hormones Secreted by Pancreas

Answer: Glucagon, insulin, somatostatin and pancreatic polypeptide are the main hormones secreted by the endocrine pancreas.

Glucagon

After a meal, blood sugar levels fall for several hours. In order to provide energy, the pancreas releases glucagon, which signals the liver and muscle cells to convert glycogen to glucose for the body to use as fuel. 

Insulin

Glucose enters the bloodstream as a result of carbohydrate digestion. This causes an increase in blood sugar levels. All cells in the body receive instructions from the pancreas on how to best absorb glucose. Cells use the majority of this glucose for energy. 

Somatostatin

One of the functions of Somatostatin is to control blood sugar and/or salt balance. Pancreatic polypeptide (PNP). To grow, you need more protein. G.I. secretion and motility are affected by this polypeptide.
