Insulin secretion mechanism is a common example ofsignal transduction pathway mechanism. Insulin is produced by the pancreas in a region called Islets of Langerhans. In the islets of Langerhans, there are beta-cells, which are responsible for production and storage of insulin. What is insulin funct...
Insulin is an anabolic peptide hormone that plays a crucial role in metabolism. Insulin is produced by the beta cells of pancreatic islets and responsible for the regulation of glucose absorption into the hepatic, fat, and skeletal muscle cells. ...

which is produced by beta cells in the pancreatic islets, is pivotal to the conversion of glucose to lactate in muscle and adipose tissue as well as the conversion of lactate to glucose in the liver. Consequently, this produces a cyclic...
When administered SC, insulin is absorbed into the peripheral circulation and distributed in equal arterial concentrations to all target tissues. This contrasts with endogenously secreted insulin which reaches the liver as the first target organ in higher portal concentrations and is subject to first-pas...
Why Diabetes mellitus Type I is related to ketoacidosis? How this complication is produced and what are the metabolic consequences? Considering the route that insulin would take if it was taken orally and absorbed in the intestines, explain why some medications must be given by injections into the...
Specifically, two steps, (1) synthesis and (2) processing have been identified that describe how IL-1β is produced. These two phases are known as signal 1 (‘priming’) and signal 2 (‘activation’) (Latz, 2010; Lamkanfi and Dixit, 2012; Dowling and O'Neill, 2012; Figure 13). Si...
Basal levels of insulin produced by Gi-INS-7 cells were relatively high, and this tumor cell–derived line continued to grow after transplantation. Both these factors might cause overproduction of insulin, resulting in the hypoglycemia observed in Gi-INS-7-transplanted mice. This problem might be...
