- Impacts kidneys (end-stage chronic disease) and cognitive function
- Health promotion key: Exercise and healthy eating
Insulin Physiology
- Proinsulin, secreted and stored in the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, is transformed into active insulin by the liver

Diabetes Mellitus
- Common, chronic disorder of impaired nutrient metabolism, particularly glucose
