Glucose regulation is the process by which the body maintains a stable level of glucose in the blood, which is essential for overall health and functioning. This process is primarily controlled by the hormone insulin, which is produced by the pancreas in response to high blood sugar levels. When blood sugar levels are too low, another hormone called glucagon is released to increase glucose production and release from the liver. Problems with glucose regulation can lead to conditions such as diabetes, where blood sugar levels are consistently too high or too low. Research in this area focuses on understanding the mechanisms underlying glucose regulation, identifying risk factors for developing diabetes, and developing effective treatments to manage and prevent these conditions. This research is crucial for improving our understanding of metabolic diseases and ultimately improving the health and well-being of individuals affected by these conditions.
