Together, the liver and the Pancreas regulate blood-sugar or blood-glucose concentration. They do so by the Pancreas releasing two protein based hormones known as Glucagon and Insulin into the Liver. The liver then either starts the build up (if insulin is released) of glucose into starch, hence decreasing blood sugar concentration or the liver starts the break down (if glucagon is released) of starch into glucose hence increasing blood sugar concentration. These are required in maintaining homeostasis.
