The insulin protein
Insulin decreases blood glucose concentration. It increases cell permeability
to monosaccharides, amino acids and fatty acids. It accelerates glycolysis,
the penthose phosphate cycle, and glycogen synthesis in liver. Defects
of insulin are the cause of hyperproinsulinemia and of type-II diabetes
mellitus. For more information on diabetes visit diabetes.com.
