[[Beta cell]]s are sensitive to [[blood sugar level]]s so that they secrete insulin into the blood in response to high level of glucose, and inhibit secretion of insulin when glucose levels are low. Insulin production is also regulated by glucose: high glucose promotes insulin production while low glucose levels lead to lower production. Insulin enhances glucose uptake and metabolism in the cells, thereby reducing blood sugar level. Their neighboring [[alpha cell]]s, by taking their cues from the beta cells, secrete [[glucagon]] into the blood in the opposite manner: increased secretion when blood glucose is low, and decreased secretion when glucose concentrations are high. Glucagon increases blood glucose level by stimulating [[glycogenolysis]] and [[gluconeogenesis]] in the liver. The secretion of insulin and glucagon into the blood in response to the blood glucose concentration is the primary mechanism of [[Blood sugar regulation|glucose homeostasis]].</div>FuzzyBot
