Top-Ranked ELISA Kits (Insulin INS). Vol.5 (2019)

Insulin is a protein hormone secreted by islet beta cells in the pancreas. Insulin is involved in regulating glucose metabolism and controlling blood sugar balance. It can be used to treat diabetes mellitus. The main physiological function of insulin is to regulate the metabolic process. Glucose metabolism: promoting the uptake and utilization of glucose by tissue cells, promoting glycogen synthesis, inhibiting gluconeogenesis and lowering blood sugar; Fat metabolism: promoting fatty acid synthesis and fat storage, reducing fat decomposition; Protein: accelerating the entry of amino acids into cells, promoting all links of protein synthesis to increase protein Quality synthesis. Insulin is the only hormone that lowers blood sugar and promotes the synthesis of glycogen, fat and protein. Therefore, the detection of insulin content is particularly important in metabolic diseases caused by abnormal insulin in vivo.
