The Pancreatic gland is the gland responsible for maintaining the breakdown of foods in the body.
Step-by-step explanation:
The pancreatic gland can function as an endocrine gland, which is responsible for the secretion of glucagon and insulin. These two enzymes are responsible for the maintaining of the glucose levels of the body.
The insulin in Lila's body is meant to reduce her blood sugar, by helping the cells to be able to absorb the glucose, and use it as energy to drive her exercise and her daily routines. However, if there is a problem with the pancreas, the glucose will just be in the blood stream, without getting to the cells and Lila will keep on feeling hungry all the time. This is probably why she will keep on gaining weight.
