The process of getting glucose into our bloodstream starts with a hormone called glucagon being released by the pancreas to signal the body that it needs replacement energy in the form of food. Feelings of hunger then lead to multiple processes that eventually end in glucose being released into the bloodstream after food is digested. Once this occurs, when a cell needs energy, glucose is absorbed across the cell's membrane with a little help from a hormone called insulin. Insulin is also produced in the pancreas and is released into the bloodstream constantly. When our blood glucose gets too high, like after eating a meal, it gets released at a much higher rate to counteract the rise in glucose and brings the glucose levels back to normal. The balance of these two hormones is what drives our desires of hunger versus feeling full.
Dear Edupalli Roshitha
Please have a look at these 2 articles to have an insight on the effect of Insulin and glucagon on the liver and adipose tissues in the regulation of Glucose:
1. Article Insulin and Glucagon: Partners for Life
2. Article Blood Glucose Regulation and Control of Insulin and Glucagon...
Mohamed Youssef, thank you very much, Doctor
About clarifying the balance of the hormones glucagon secreted by the alpha cells of the pancreas, and the insulin in the body secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas, the state of balance creates a sense of hunger and satiety in a person.
I agree with Dr.'s answer. Mohamed Yousif
