Glucose homeostasis refers to the body's natural ability to regulate blood glucose levels within a narrow range to ensure proper functioning of various bodily processes. This balance is maintained through a complex interplay of hormones, including insulin and glucagon, which are produced by the pancreas and play a key role in controlling the uptake, storage, and release of glucose in the body. Disruption of glucose homeostasis can lead to serious health conditions such as diabetes, hypoglycemia, and hyperglycemia. Researchers in this area study the mechanisms underlying glucose regulation, potential causes of dysfunction, and therapeutic approaches to restore proper glucose balance.
