The endocrine component of the pancreas consists of islet cells (islets of Langerhans) that create and release important hormones directly into the bloodstream. Two of the main pancreatic hormones are insulin, which acts to lower blood sugar, and glucagon, which acts to raise blood sugar.
The main enzymes produced by the pancreas are amylase, which is important in the digestion of carbohydrates (foods like bread and potatoes), trypsin which digests protein (from meat, cheese, milk and pulses like beans), and lipase, which digests fat.he pancreas produces chemicals called enzymes which are essential to the digestion of food. These enzymes break down food into very small particles that the body can then absorb. Enzymes are produced in small glands in the pancreas and then flow through the organ into the first part of the bowel.
