insulin signaling
Insulin signaling refers to a complex biological process that occurs in the body when insulin is released. It involves the binding of insulin to its specific receptors on cells, triggering a cascade of molecular events that regulate various metabolic processes, such as glucose uptake, storage, and utilization. Ultimately, insulin signaling helps regulate blood sugar levels and maintain overall energy metabolism.
