The Role of Insulin in Blood Sugar Regulation

Tarunkanti Mondal

Insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas, plays a central role in maintaining glucose homeostasis in the human body. This abstract explores the intricate mechanisms by which insulin regulates blood sugar levels, ensuring they remain within a narrow, physiologically optimal range. Insulin acts as a key that unlocks cells, allowing them to take up glucose from the bloodstream, where it can be used for energy or stored for future use. Dysregulation of insulin production or action can lead to serious metabolic disorders, such as diabetes mellitus. This abstract highlights the importance of insulin in blood sugar regulation, emphasizing its role as a vital orchestrator of metabolic processes. Understanding the intricate dance between insulin and glucose is essential for managing and preventing diabetes and promoting overall health and well-being.
