Insulin (Anti-Aging)

The hormone that drives incoming nutrients into cells for storage. Excess insulin is the primary pillar of aging.


Insulin (Beauty)

A hormone that promotes the transfer of sugar into the body cells for energy production.

Insulin (Bodybuilding)

Hormone secreted by the pancreas responsible for carbohydrate metabolism. This hormone determines if the carbohydrates are to be used for energy, for storage inside the muscle cells as glycogen, or for converting and storing the carbohydrates as fats when they are found in excess in the bloodstream.


Insulin (Calorie Restriction)

A hormone critical for metabolizing glucose. But to high levels of insulin, commonly associated with Type II diabetes, is thought to have very negative health consequences.


Insulin (Cancer)

A hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates the amount of sugar in the blood. A lack of insulin results in a disease called diabetes.

Insulin (Cholesterol)

A natural hormone made by the pancreas that controls the level of the sugar glucose in the blood. Insulin permits cells to use glucose for energy. Cells cannot utilize glucose without insulin.

Insulin (Diabetes)

A hormone that helps the body use glucose (sugar) for energy. The beta cells of the pancreas (in areas called the islets of Langerhans) make the insulin. When the body cannot make enough insulin on its own, a person with diabetes must inject insulin made from other sources, i.e., beef, pork, human insulin (recombinant DNA origin), or human insulin (pork-derived, semisynthetic).See also: What is Insulin? and Diabetes Team Questions about Insulin

Insulin (Endocrinology)

A hormone released by the pancreas in response to increased levels of sugar in the blood.


Insulin (Erectile Dysfunction)

A hormone made by the body. Insulin lets cells in the body accept sugar in foods.


Insulin (Fitness)

Hormone produced by the pancreas which controls the blood’s level of glucose and amino acids.

Insulin (HIV and AIDs)

A HORMONE that controls the amount of sugar in the blood. A lack of or resistance to insulin leads to diabetes.


Insulin (Health)

Hormone produced by the pancreas, which helps glucose leave the blood and enter the muscles and other tissues of the body.

Insulin (Health and Beauty)

A hormone that promotes the transfer of sugar into the body cells for energy production.


Insulin (Hepatitis C)

A hormone produced in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, concerned with the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism by controlling glucose levels in the blood; it is extracted from the pancreas of beef or pork for use in the treatment of diabetes.


Insulin (Hormone Replacement Therapy)

The hormone that drives incoming nutrients into cells for storage. Excess insulin is the primary pillar of aging.


Insulin (Horse Health)

Critically important hormone produced by the beta cells of the endocrine pancreas; responsible for regulating the blood concentration of glucose, the body's most important fuel molecule.


Insulin (Huntingtons Disease)

A hormone involved in the storage of glucose (sugar) in tissues. Insulin helps regulate glucose concentration in the blood.


Insulin (Liver, Biliary and Pancreatic Di)

A hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin affects the amount of glucose absorbed by the liver.


Insulin (Medical)

A hormone made in the pancreas that plays an important role in the absorption of glucose (the body's main source of energy) into muscle cells


See more Medical Terms ...

Insulin (Nutrition)

An anabolic hormone that's supposed to take the sugar and transport it into the muscle. Insulin also promotes increased amino acid entry into muscle and increases muscle protein synthesis. Too much insulin can cause sugar to bypass muscle, and be stored as bod yfat.


Insulin (Prader-Willi Syndrome)

A hormone secreted by the pancreas that regulates sugar in the body.


Insulin (Prostate Cancer)

A hormone made by the islet cells of the pancreas. Insulin controls the amount of sugar in the blood by moving it into the cells, where it can be used by the body for energy.


Insulin (Science)

A hormone produced by the pancreas that allows sugar to enter the body's cells


See more Science Terms ...

Insulin (Supplements)

A protein pancreatic hormone that is essential especially for the metabolism of carbohydrates and is used in the treatment and control of diabetes mellitus.


Insulin (Weight Loss)

A hormone secreted by special cells in the pancreas in response to increased blood glucose (blood sugar) concentrations


Insulin (Women's Health)

One of many hormones that helps the body turn the food we eat into energy and helps store energy to be used later. People with diabetes mellitus, a condition in which the body does not make enough insulin, might need to inject themselves with insulin to help their bodies’ cells work properly.


Insulin (Womens Health)

One of many hormones that helps the body turn the food we eat into energy and helps store energy to be used later. People with diabetes mellitus, a condition in which the body does not make enough insulin, might need to inject themselves with insulin to help their bodies’ cells work properly.
