Hormones – “… Hormones have several functions in the body. They help to maintain the balance of biological activities in the body. The role of insulin in keeping the blood glucose level within the narrow limit is an example of this function. Insulin is released in response to the rapid rise in blood glucose level. … Thyroxine produced in the thyroid gland is an iodinated derivative of amino acid tyrosine. …
