  • 8 Enzymes Regulated by Insulin

    8 Enzymes Regulated by Insulin
    Jan 19 2026

    Insulin binding to its receptor initiates a cascade of intracellular events that lead to the activation of a phosphoprotein phosphatase. This phosphatase will dephosphorylate 8 distinct enzymes involved in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and change their activity, thus changing the overall metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids.

  • INSULIN: A Master Builder

    INSULIN: A Master Builder
    Jan 2 2026

    This podcast explains how elevated blood sugar levels trigger the release of insulin, a vital hormone that interacts with various body tissues. Once activated, insulin receptors initiate several internal processes designed to store energy and build cellular components. Specifically, this hormone facilitates anabolic reactions, which include converting glucose into glycogen and transforming fatty acids into triglycerides. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in protein synthesis by utilizing available amino acids. Ultimately, the source highlights insulin’s primary function as a coordinator for growth and energy storage within the body.
