Answer:
Hyposecretion. Destruction of hormone-secreting cells of a gland may result in not enough of a hormone being secreted. This occurs in type 1 diabetes. In this case, the body's own immune system attacks and destroys cells of the pancreas that secrete insulin, making type 1 diabetes an autoimmune disease.
Explanation:
Insulin is a key player in the control of intermediary metabolism, and the big picture is that it organizes the use of fuels for either storage or oxidation. Through these activities, insulin has profound effects on both carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, and significant influences on protein and mineral metabolism.
