Insulin is protein hormone with 51 amino acids. It is very important hormone in the human body that regulates blood sugar level. Excess and deficiency of insulin leads to many long lasting abnormalities. Diabetes is one of biggest problem of this era. According to latest survey Pakistan rank first in the Diabetes Mellitus. Insulin also play many other functions other than regulating blood sugar. It affects on the whole physiology of the body.

INTRODUCTION
•Insulin is the protein hormone that regulates blood sugar level.
•Secreted by the beta cells of Islets of Langerhans in Pancreas.
•Secreted when blood glucose level is high.
•Secretion stops when blood glucose level is low from normal.
•First reported in pancreatic extract in 1921. (Ostergaard etal, 2020).

STRUCTURE
•Small protein containing 51 amino acids.
•Despite of 51 amino acids, insulin also have17 proteogenic amino
acids, A and B chains and 3 disulphide bridges.
•Folded with 3 alpha helices and short beta sheet segment.
•Insulin associates into dimers.
•Hexamers with stabilization of ZN
2+
and phenol ligands. (Forbes
BE, 2023). 6

FUNCTIONS OF INSULIN
Tissue Effect Of Insulin
Liver Catabolic pathway
Inhibits glycogenolysis
Inhibits conversion of fatty acids and amino acids into keto acids
Inhibit the conversion of amino acids to glucose.
Anabolic pathways
Promote glucose storage as glycogen
Increase triglyceride and VLD formation
Muscle Protein Synthesis
Increase amino acid transport
Increase ribosomal protein synthesis
Glycogen Synthesis 9

DISORDERS RELATED TO INSULIN
DEFICENCY
•DIABETES MELLITUS
•Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by
hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin
action, or both. the chronic hyperglycemia of diabetes is associated
with long-term damage, dysfunction, and failure of various organs,
especially the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels.
13
CLASSIFICATION OF DIABETES
Type 1 Diabetes (beta cell destruction
usually leading to insulin deficiency)
Immune mediated
Idiopathic
Type 2 Diabetes may range from predominantly insulin
resistance with relative insulin deficiency
to a predominantly secretory defect with
insulin resistance)
Other Specific Types Genetic defects of beta cell function
Chromosome 12 HNF-1 alpha (MODY3)
Chromosome 7 glucokinase (MODY2)
Chromosome 20 HNF4-alpha (MODY1)
Mitochondrial DNA

Genetic Defects In insulin Action•Type A insulin Resistance,
Leprechaunism, Rabson Mendenhall
Syndrome, Lipoatrophic Diabetes and
Others.
Endocrinopathies •Acromegaly, Cushing Syndrome,
Glucagonoma, Hyperthyroidism,
Somatostatinoma, Aldosteronoma
Uncommon Form of immune
mediated Diabetes
Gestational Diabetes
•Stiff man syndrome, anti insulin
receptor antibodies,

RISK FACTORS OF HYPERINSULIEMIA
▪Obesity
▪Sedentary lifestyle
▪Smoking
▪Age 45+
▪A parent or sibling with
diabetes
▪Heart Diseases
▪High Blood Pressure
▪High Cholesterol
▪History of Stroke
▪Sleep apnea
Symptoms of
Hyperinsulinemia
▪Increased cravings for
sugar and carbohydrates
▪Fatigue
▪Difficulty losing weight
▪Frequent hunger or extreme
hunger
