What is its purpose and how does it effect the the body? Both hormones regulate the glucose level in the body. []
 * Insulin is secreted when there is an increase in blood sugar. The amount of insuline released is based on how high the blood sugar is. When insulin is secreted muscles cells, red blood cell, and fat cells remove glucome from the blood causing the blood glucose levels to go back to normal.
 * Glucagon is secreted when the glucose in the blood has become low during eating and working out. This hormone causes liver to secrete its glucose into the blood.

Disease associated with hormone: Diabetes: The pancreas doesn't produce enough or no insulin or when insulin tries to move sugar into the cell, the cells don't respond to the insulin Type 1: The production of insulin is too little or none and it can happen at any age. To makes sure insulin goes into the body, daily injections have to be taken Type 2: Obesity can be a cause to type 2 []
