Excessive secretion of insulin can be caused by conditions such as insulinoma, an insulin-secreting tumor of the pancreas, or insulin resistance in conditions like obesity or type 2 Diabetes. In some cases, certain medications or hormonal imbalances can also lead to increased insulin secretion.
Consuming carbohydrates, especially simple sugars, stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas. Other factors like certain amino acids, fatty acids, and hormones can also trigger insulin secretion. Insulin secretion plays a key role in regulating blood sugar levels by facilitating glucose uptake into cells for energy production.
Yes, insulin secretion is stimulated by elevated blood glucose concentrations. Elevated blood glucose levels trigger the release of insulin from the beta cells in the pancreas, which helps to facilitate the uptake and storage of glucose by cells in the body.
The sympathetic system tends to inhibit insulin secretion, as it is involved in the "fight or flight" response where energy is needed quickly. On the other hand, the parasympathetic system stimulates insulin secretion, as it is known as the "rest and digest" system that promotes nutrient absorption and storage.
Somatostatin: inhibits insulin & glucagon secretion by the pancreas. Inhibits TSH, GH, and ACTH secretion by adenohypophysis.
Yes, insulin is secreted by the pancreas. This secretion is part of the endocrine function of the pancreas.
There is a tumor that causes excessive insulin production called an insulinoma. Due to the increased insulin production it causes hypoglycemia. The medical term I found is Hyperinsulinism.

insulin
Insulin is an endocrine hormone secreted by the pancreas. You could call it endocrine or pancreatic secretion.
Yes, insulin secretion is stimulated by elevated blood glucose concentrations. Elevated blood glucose levels trigger the release of insulin from the beta cells in the pancreas, which helps to facilitate the uptake and storage of glucose by cells in the body.

Hyperinsulinism
Diebetics
A decrease in blood glucose that causes the inhibition of insulin secretion is an example of a negative feedback mechanism. In this case, low blood glucose levels trigger the inhibition of insulin release to prevent further lowering of blood sugar and maintain homeostasis.
insulin resistance
Endocrine system
Somatostatin: inhibits insulin & glucagon secretion by the pancreas. Inhibits TSH, GH, and ACTH secretion by adenohypophysis.
