Study Notes
Insulin and Its Regulation
- Insulin is known as the storage and anabolic hormone of the body.
Insulin Synthesis
- Proinsulin is modified to form insulin by removing four amino acids, resulting in a residual connecting segment called C-peptide.
Insulin Release
- Insulin release is stimulated by: • High blood glucose levels • Amino acids • Hormones such as glucagon and growth hormone • Vagus nerve stimulation • Ingestion of protein and carbohydrates
