It regulates glucose uptake, glycogen synthesis, lipid metabolism, protein metabolism, energy storage, and nutrient sensing while interacting with hormones such as glucagon and incretins. Understanding insulin provides a foundation for understanding insulin sensitivity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, and diabetes.
