<P> Insulin is produced in the pancreas and the Brockmann body ( in some fish ) , and released when any of several stimuli are detected . These stimuli include ingested protein and glucose in the blood produced from digested food . Carbohydrates can be polymers of simple sugars or the simple sugars themselves . If the carbohydrates include glucose , then that glucose will be absorbed into the bloodstream and blood glucose level will begin to rise . In target cells , insulin initiates a signal transduction , which has the effect of increasing glucose uptake and storage . Finally , insulin is degraded , terminating the response . </P>
