This tells us that multiple endocrine glands are involved in maintaining homeostasis in the body. The dysfunction of one gland (in this case, the pancreas in producing insulin) can result in imbalances in multiple hormone levels, leading to dysfunction in multiple body systems. This demonstrates the interconnected nature of the endocrine system and its importance in maintaining overall health and balance in the body.
