In response to high sugar in the blood, the peptide hormone insulin is secreted from the beta cell of the pancreas. Which play a crucial role in the regulation of blood sugar. Insulin cause cells of skeleton muscle, adipose tissue, and liver to absorb sugar. Sugar is utilized in various tissue of body while it is stored in the liver and adipose tissue as glycogen and triglyceride respectively. When control of insulin level fails then it causes diabetes Mellitus.
