Answer:

Through negative feedback, insulin produced by the pancreas causes a decrease in the amount of glucose in the blood.

Step-by-step explanation:

The control of blood sugar (glucose) by insulin is a good example of a negative feedback mechanism. When blood sugar rises, receptors in the body sense a change. In turn, the control center (pancreas) secretes insulin into the blood effectively lowering blood sugar levels.
