Hormon Insulin

The hormone insulin produced by the pancreas gland. In the pancreas gland contains approximately 100,000 islets of Langerhans and each island contains 100 beta cells.

By the beta-cell hormone insulin is produced, in which beta cells can be likened to a key that can open the door entry of glucose into the cell. For later in the cell, glucose is metabolised
into energy power.

If there is no insulin, the glucose can not enter the cells by the glucose result will remain in the blood vessels which means that glucose levels in the blood rise.

Instead, in addition to beta cells, there is also a function of alpha cells produce glucagon which has a working instead of the hormone insulin, which increases blood glucose levels.

In these circumstances the body often becomes weak due to lack of energy in the cell. This is the most susceptible to type 1 diabetes mellit
