What main hormone does the pancreas produce?
The pancreas produces several hormones, but the main one is insulin. Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells in the pancreas. It is responsible for regulating blood sugar levels by allowing glucose to enter cells for energy. Insulin also helps to store glucose in the liver and muscles for later use.Pancreatic Cancer - Related Articles
