Introduction & History
From latin word insula , meaning “island.” Peptide hormone Produced by beta cells of the pancreas A chemical messenger. . Regulates the level of sugar (glucose) in the blood. What is insulin?
History : 1889 : Oskar Mankowski and Joseph von Mering removed the pancreas of a dog. ↓ 1893 : The cluster of cells within the pancreas is named the 'Islets of Langerhans '. ↓ 1901 : The source of insulin was found. ↓ 1921 : Dr. Fredrick Banting and Macleod discovered insulin from dog's pancreas. ↓ 1922 : Leonard Thompson becomes the first person to receive insulin to treat diabetics. ↓ 1923 : Banting and Macleod was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine.
Characteristics & Structure
Characteristics PolyPeptide Hormone. Secreted by ẞ-cells in the islets of langerhans of pancreas . Regulates the metabolic activity of carbohydrates, fats and Proteins . Anabolic Hormone . 1st hormone >>> isolated, purified and synthesis . 1st hormone to sequence . 1st Hormone to be produced By DNA technology.
STRUCTURE OF INSULIN Insulin is a protein comprising of 2 polypeptide chains: Chain A with 21 amino acid residues Chain B with 30 amino acid residues Chains A & B are linked by disulphide bridges. A-chain contains an intra-chain disulphide bridge linking residue 6 and 11. C-chain connects A & B chains. C-chain is liberated along with insulin after breakdown of proinsulin .
Factor effect insulin secretion & Effect of insulin on target tissue
Factors effecting insulin secretion:
Adipose Tissue Muscle Liver Brain Intestine Kidney Effect of Insulin on Target Cell

Action of Insulin
On Carbohydrate M etabolism Muscle and fat muscles: cells absorb glucose from the blood, lowering blood glucose levels Liver: Stimulates glycogenesis Inhibits gluconeogenesis On Lipid Metabolism Fat storage: Promotes the synthesis and storage of fat in adipose tissue. Inhibition of lypolysis : Inhibits the breakdown of stored triglycerides.
On Protein Metabolism Protein synthesis: Stimulates the uptake of amino acids into cells and promotes protein synthesis Inhibition of protein degradation: Inhibits the breakdown of proteins into amino acids for preserving muscle mass and overall stores of protein in the body. Electrolyte balance Potassium: Stimulates the uptake of potassium into cells prevent hyperkalemia (elevated potassium levels in the blood).
