Which of the following best explains how insulin injections affect signal transduction in an individual with type 1 diabetes
Reptile [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option A. They serve as second messengers to regulate glucose uptake to cells.

Explanation:

Type one diabetes is a condition that is characterized as the inability to produce enough quantity or at all of the insulin by the beta cells of the pancreas. Therefore, a patient with this condition completely depends on exogenous insulin to maintain the sugar level in the blood.

Insulin is the hormone that removes the excess amount of glucose from the blood by the adipose tissue, liver cells, and skeletal muscle that uptake an extra amount of sugar. there are receptors present on the surface of the plasma membrane which binds with the insulin and acts as a secondary to regulate a cascade reaction to glucose uptake to cells.
