<span>If a person had only 1000 insulin receptors in each liver cell instead of the usual 90,000 or more, the person would not be able to take in or absorb the normal amount of insulin, store glucose as efficiently, or regulate blood sugar levels as efficiently.</span>

When the levels of glucose in the blood elevate, the beta cells in the pancreas discharge insulin that encourages uptake of glucose for storage and metabolism. This hormone is recognized by the insulin receptors found in the surface of the cell.  

If an individual is having 1000 insulin receptors, in each cell of the liver in spite of exhibiting the usual 90000 or more, then the individual would not possess the tendency to consume or absorb the usual amount of insulin, monitor the levels of sugar as effectively, or store glucose as effectively.
