| h English (en) | ==Pathophysiology== [[Glucose]] is the main source of energy for the brain, and a number of mechanisms are in place to prevent hypoglycemia and protect energy supply to the brain. The body can adjust [[insulin]] production and release, adjust glucose production by the [[liver]], and adjust glucose use by the body. The body naturally produces the hormone [[insulin]], in an organ called the [[pancreas]]. Insulin helps to regulate the amount of glucose in the body, especially after meals. [[Glucagon]] is another hormone involved in regulating blood glucose levels, and can be thought of as the opposite of insulin. Glucagon helps to increase blood glucose levels, especially in states of hunger. |
