An example of homeostasis is regulating blood glucose concentration. The body does this as follows:
If there is enough glucose in the blood, the hormone insulin (from the pancreas) stimulates the liver to store the extra (not needed at the time) glucose as glycogen.
If the blood sugar gets low, another hormone stimulates the liver to release the glucose back into the blood.
If the storage in the liver is full, glucose is converted into fat in special cells around the body.
