Target Information
Insulin, a peptide hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreatic islets, serves as the body's primary anabolic hormone. It regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins by facilitating the absorption of glucose from the blood into liver, fat, and skeletal muscle cells. Hamster insulin, like in other mammals, regulates blood glucose levels. It facilitates glucose uptake by cells, primarily in the liver, muscles, and adipose tissue, lowering blood sugar. This process is crucial for energy homeostasis. In hamsters, food deprivation increases sensitivity to insulin's hyperphagia-inducing effects, establishing a consistent relationship between their metabolic and behavioral responses to external insulin.
