  • A new study has uncovered how insulin amounts shape the flow of information through the signalling network.
  • Insulin signalling is a series of biochemical reactions that convey information about availability of insulin and the necessity to regulate the glucose in the blood.
  • There are 2 main pathways for insulin signalling (AKT and ERK).
  • They together balance metabolism and growth.
  • These specifically control storage of glucose in the liver and also stimulate glucose transport in skeletal muscle and fat.
