Insulin (secreted by the beta cell of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas in) causes cells, liver, adipose and muscle cells, to take up glucose from the blood after a meal to prevent hyperglycemia. (Targets Glucose transporter GLUT4 and Glucokinase)
An increase in insulin causes Fatty acid synthesis in the liver (targets Acetyl-CoA carboxylase)
It also causes triacylglycerol synthesis in adipose tissue (targets Lipoprotein lipase)
What else can I help you with?
What is an endocrine functions?
The pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream
What is the hormone from the pancreas which functions in opposition to insulin known as?
Glucagon. I looked it up in a textbook. Glucagon raises blood glucose levels; insulin lowers blood glucose levels.
Is insulin fibrous?
No, insulin is not fibrous. It is a peptide hormone composed of amino acids, forming a relatively small protein structure. Insulin functions to regulate blood glucose levels in the body and is soluble in water rather than being fibrous like certain structural proteins, such as collagen or keratin.
How do beta cells in the pancreas work to produce and deliver insulin?
1.Beta cells 2.Beta cells 3.Insulin
What is an endocrine function sweat glands release sweat to the skin the pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream or salivary glands release saliva into the stomach?
The release of insulin by the pancreas is an endocrine function. The release of sweat and saliva are exocrine functions.

How many disulfide bonds does insulin have?
Insulin contains three disulfide bonds. These bonds stabilize the protein structure of insulin, which is crucial for its biological activity in regulating blood sugar levels.
