∙ 14y agoEndocrine itself doesn't refer to a singular substance, but rather a system of glands found in various places in the human body. The endocrine system may be referred to as a hormone regulating system.
The endocrine system keeps a hormonal balance in your bloodstream and body between various hormones, but some of the most commonly spoken about hormones are probably insulin and glucagon.
For more information, Google "endocine" or "endocrinology"
