Insulin and glucagon are two important hormones produced by the islet cells (islets of Langerhans) of the pancreas. Insulin helps to lower the blood glucose level, while glucagon helps to increase it. The other choices are incorrect because they represent hormones produced by other glands (adrenal glands for A, B, D, and E).
