Insulin Synthesis and Secretion - Part 4
Offered By: Dr. Najeeb Lectures via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the intricate process of insulin synthesis and secretion in this comprehensive medical lecture. Delve into the structure and function of pancreatic islets, including the roles of various cell types such as B cells, A cells, and D cells. Learn about the production of insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin, and understand their interactions within the islets. Examine the blood supply to the islets of Langerhans and its significance in hormone distribution. Discover the step-by-step process of insulin formation, from the precursor pre-proinsulin to the biologically active insulin molecule. Gain insights into the genetic basis of insulin synthesis, the involvement of cellular organelles, and the mechanisms of insulin storage and release. This in-depth exploration of insulin biology is essential for medical students and professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of endocrine physiology and diabetes management.
