Insulin: Moves Glucose into Cell (Skeletal muscle, Liver) via GLUT-4 transporter. (Glucose Uptake)
→ Oxidation of Glucose to ATP (Glycolysis)
→ Glucose to Glycogen stores (Glycogen synthesis), Inhibit Glycogen Breakdown
→ Glucose to fat (Triglyceride = Glycerol + fatty acids)
→ Decrease Gluconeogenesis
Normal - Biphasic: Secretion rises rapidly(within 15 mins) after consumption of carbs. Drops. Rises slightly again at 45mins.
T1: No insulin secretion
T2: Initial secretion not present. Equivalent to second secretion is present.
