[Chemical composition] The islets of the pancreas contain insulin and glucagon, which play a role in regulating blood sugar. Although insulin can be synthesized artificially, it is still extracted commercially from sheep, cow and pig pancreases. The molecular structure of insulin varies slightly from animal to animal. The pancreatic secretions that enter the duodenum contain a variety of digestive enzymes, such as amylase, pancreatic lipase, trypsin, chymotrypsin, and carboxypeptidase. The latter three are originally inactive trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen and carboxypeptidaseogen in pancreatic juice. After entering the intestine, the former is activated to become trypsin, and the latter two are also activated by trypsin to become chymotrypsin and carboxypeptidase. Pancreatic juice also contains digestive enzymes such as nuclease and lactase.
