Essay / Research Paper Abstract
An 8 page paper discussing the chemical action of insulin, which has been misunderstood for decades. As researchers made discoveries that led them to believe they had discovered answers, frequently it was revealed that all that had been "discovered" was more questions. After decades of believing that excess sugar in the diet does not specifically cause diabetes, researchers have found results that suggest such could be the case, or at least contribute to the emergence of the condition. Again, what has been discovered is not an answer, but represents yet another question. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Includes an abstract.

had been "discovered" was more questions. After decades of believing that excess sugar in the diet does not specifically cause diabetes, researchers have found results that suggest such could
be the case, or at least contribute to the emergence of the condition. Again, what has been discovered is not an answer, but represents yet another question.
Introduction It has long been known where insulin is produced in the body and what conditions lead
to secretion of the hormone. What has not been known is how to manage and alter that process when it is not functioning as it should. Understanding the
chemistry behind the biological results as led to better means of treating the resultant diabetes and points the way to discovery of why diabetes begins to occur within the individual.
Insulins Action Insulin is secreted by the islet ? cells of the pancreas in the
presence of increasing amino acids and rising glucose levels. These conditions initiate a series of reactions that cause the islet ? cells to secrete insulin, which then breaks down
blood sugar into its component substances. The result of insulins action on blood sugar is that lipoprotein lipase is activated; catabolic pathway enzymes are inhibited; cellular uptake systems are
activated; anabolic pathway enzymes are stimulated; and glucagon secretion is inhibited (Insulin and Glucagon). This is the normal sequence and effects of events,
