Insulin is a key player in the control of intermediary metabolism, and the big picture is that it organizes the use of fuels for either storage or oxidation. Through these activities, insulin has profound effects on both carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, and significant influences on protein and mineral metabolism.

Insulin: An elevated blood glucose concentration results in the secretion of insulin: glucose is transported into body cells.The uptake of glucose by liver, kidney and brain cells is by diffusion and does not require insulin.Click on the thumbnail for details of the effect of insulin:nsulin: An elevated blood glucose concentration results in the secretion of insulin: glucose is transported into body cells.
