1.A hormone produced in the pancreas that acts to regulate the amount of sugar in the blood by causing cells, especially liver and muscle cells, to absorb glucose from the bloodstream. 2.A drug containing this hormone, obtained from the pancreas of animals or produced synthetically and used ...

根据前文Type 1 diabetes means the body cannot make insulin,a deficiency (缺陷) perhaps caused by genetics.Type 2 diabetes is a different disease,where the body has difficulty using insulin.(1型糖尿病意味着身体不能合成胰岛素,这种缺乏可能是由基因引起的。2型糖尿病是一种不同的疾病,身体难以使用...
Insulin acts on most tissues to speed the uptake of glucose. In the cells the glucose is burned for energy, stored as glycogen, or transformed to and stored as fat. The human pancreas probably produces 1–2 mg of the hormone per day. This is sufficient to regulate the metabolism of more...
Glucose is the main source of energy for body cells.When blood sugar levels rise,as is normal after a meal,the pancreas gland located behind the stomach secretes the hormone insulin.Insulin enters and circulates in the blood and acts on the insulin receptors present in m...
In addition to classical insulin target tissues (liver, skeletal muscle and white adipose tissue) insulin acts on most human organs and cell types, including the arterial vasculature and the kidney In insulin-resistant states such as obesity or type 2 diabetes mellitus, not only are the classical...
Insulin acts primarily to stimulate glucose uptake by three tissues—adipose(fat),muscle, andliver—that are important in themetabolismand storage of nutrients. Like other protein hormones, insulin binds to specificreceptorson the outer membrane of its target cells, thereby activating metabolic processes...

To investigate whether ERRα acts as a nutrient sensor, we examined the expression of ERRα under different nutritional statuses. We observed elevated hepatic ERRα protein levels without affecting its mRNA expression in response to increased nutrients intake upon fasting/refeeding transition, acute high...
Interventional studies of testosterone replacement therapy have shown improvements in insulin resistance, body composition, glycaemic control, lipid metabolism and other cardiovascular risk factors The benefit of testosterone on insulin sensitivity might be attributable to a complex regulatory influence on insuli...
