Insulin secretion and binding to the insulin receptor initiates a robust physiological response in a healthy individual. The correct insulin signaling is important as it regulates many things that include glucose, lipid, and energy homeostasis. Diseases that happen relating to insulin are due to wrong signaling. These include Type I diabetes and Type II diabetes. | Insulin secretion and binding to the insulin receptor initiates a robust physiological response in a healthy individual. The correct insulin signaling is important as it regulates many things that include glucose, lipid, and energy homeostasis. Diseases that happen relating to insulin are due to wrong signaling. These include Type I diabetes and Type II diabetes. Type I diabetes is normally associated with a genetic condition that shows up early in life. Type II diabetes is normally due to a certain unhealthy lifestyle and will develop over time. | ||
