    • Pancreatic Islet and Hormonal Control of Metabolism Book

      This module explores the structure and function of the pancreatic islets and their critical role in regulating metabolism. It focuses on the secretion and actions of key hormones such as insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin, and how they maintain glucose homeostasis. Students will examine the mechanisms of hormonal control of carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism, as well as the pathophysiological consequences of endocrine imbalances such as diabetes mellitus and hypoglycemia.
