In order to fully comprehend insulin receptors, it is important to understand what insulin is. Insulin is a hormone that allows our bodies to absorb glucose that is found in our bloodstream. The main source of insulin in the body is from the pancreas, which consists of islets. Islets are what produce and determine the amount of insulin based on the body's blood glucose levels. The higher the glucose levels, the more insulin is produced and released in order to bring blood sugar levels back to an equilibrium. | |||
