Insulin action and diabetes type 1 and 2 Poster

Insulin is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreas and is central to regulating carbohydrate and fat metabolism in the body. Activation of insulin receptor upon binding to insulin molecule leads to internal cellular mechanism that brings glucose transporter (Glut4) to the cell membrane where it allows cells to take in glucose from blood. Diabetes type 1 patients are deficient in production of insulin, whereas type 2 diabetics are deficient in any of the steps of insulin signaling pathway, they are insulin resistant.
