<h3>What is
insulin?</h3>
- Insulin is a peptide hormone generated by beta cells of the pancreatic islets and is encoded by the INS gene in humans.
- Its name is derived from the Latin insula, which means "island." It is regarded as the body's primary anabolic hormone.
- It promotes the uptake of glucose from the circulation into liver, fat, and skeletal muscle cells, which controls the metabolism of carbs, lipids, and protein.
- The ingested glucose is transformed in these tissues into either glycogen (through glycogenesis) or fats (triglycerides), or, in the case of the liver, both, via lipogenesis.
<h3>What is the insulin's source?</h3>
- The pancreas, an organ behind the stomach that produces the hormone insulin, is responsible for this.
- The pancreas contains specific regions known as the islets of Langerhans (the term insulin comes from the Latin insula that means island).
