Detailed explanation-1: -Insulin helps to lower blood sugar, and glucagon causes blood sugar to rise. On the other hand, the exocrine activity consists of the production of enzymes that are part of the iso-osmotic, alkaline pancreatic juice and support the digestion of food in the intestines.
Detailed explanation-2: -The pancreas has digestive and hormonal functions: The enzymes secreted by the exocrine gland in the pancreas help break down carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. These enzymes go down the pancreatic duct into the bile duct in an inactive form. When they go into the duodenum, they are activated.
Detailed explanation-3: -Exercises, stress reduction, weight loss, and detoxification are some of the lifestyle modifications that you can bring into your life. These help in stimulating the function of beta cells of the pancreas to increase the production of insulin.
