After the ingestion of carbohydrates the blood sugar will rise. The elevation of the blood sugar will signal the pancreas to secrete insulin. Insulin is the hormone which lowers blood sugar by signaling the cells to increase their uptake of glucose.Important to know is that insulin is not only secreted due to elevation of blood sugar levels but also in very small amounts from ingestion of fatty acids and in larger amounts from ingestion of proteins, the amount depends on which amino acids and the amount of them that the protein is built up by.
