Insulin molecule F006 / 9625
Insulin, molecular model. Insulin plays an important role in blood sugar regulation. It is released from the pancreas when blood sugar levels are high, for example after a meal, prompting cells in the liver, muscle, and fat tissue to take up the glucose from the blood and store it as glycogen. Insufficient production of insulin leads to an accumulation of glucose in the blood causing diabetes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of insulin, a vital hormone in blood sugar regulation. The image depicts an accurate and detailed model of the insulin molecule, highlighting its significance in maintaining optimal glucose levels within our bodies. Insulin is secreted by the pancreas when blood sugar levels rise, such as after a meal. This prompts various cells in liver, muscle, and fat tissues to absorb excess glucose from the bloodstream and store it as glycogen for future energy needs. However, insufficient production of insulin can lead to high levels of glucose accumulating in the blood, resulting in diabetes. The white background enhances the clarity of this illustration while drawing attention to the complexity and beauty of this biological molecule. With its alpha helixes and beta sheets forming a tertiary structure, insulin acts as a crucial regulator within our endocrine system. This image not only serves as an invaluable resource for researchers and medical professionals but also captivates viewers with its artistic representation. It symbolizes advancements made in healthcare through proteomics research and biochemistry studies.
