Insulin resistance is a phenomenon that is increasingly observed in people living in developed countries, characterized by a decrease in tissue sensitivity to the hormone insulin. It is associated with many diseases, such as hormonal disorders, metabolic syndrome, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and may even be their cause. What is insulin resistance and how is it treated?

Insulin und seine Rolle im Körper

Insulin ist ein Peptidhormon, das von den Beta-Zellen der Langerhans-Inseln der Bauchspeicheldrüse produziert wird. Es wird in den Blutkreislauf abgegeben, wenn der Glukose-Spiegel, freie Fettsäuren und Aminosäuren im Blut ansteigen. Es fördert die Aufnahme von Glukose aus dem Blut und die Synthese von Fettsäuren und Glykogen (eine Form von Glukose-Reserven) in der Leber. Insulin wirkt als typisches Hormon durch Zellrezeptoren, die auf den meisten Zellen des Körpers vorhanden sind. Die größte Anzahl von Rezeptoren für Insulin befindet sich in Fettzellen, der Leber und quergestreiften Muskeln. Insulin ist für die ordnungsgemäße Verteilung und Verwertung von energiereichen Verbindungen verantwortlich. Der Transport von Glukose in die Zelle wird durch Glukose-Transporter - GLUT gewährleistet, deren Anzahl auf der Zelle von Insulin abhängt.
