Insulin molecule F006 / 9558
Insulin, molecular model. Insulin plays an important role in blood sugar regulation. It is released from the pancreas when blood sugar levels are high, for example after a meal, prompting cells in the liver, muscle, and fat tissue to take up the glucose from the blood and store it as glycogen. Insufficient production of insulin leads to an accumulation of glucose in the blood causing diabetes

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of the Insulin molecule, known as F006 / 9558. As a vital hormone in our bodies, Insulin plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels. Released by the pancreas when glucose levels are high, such as after a meal, it prompts various cells in the liver, muscle, and fat tissue to absorb glucose from the bloodstream and store it as glycogen. The molecular model depicted here on a pristine white background offers an artistic representation of this essential protein. Its alpha helix and beta sheet formations create its distinctive tertiary structure. This image serves as a valuable resource for researchers and medical professionals alike who delve into endocrinology or explore biochemical pathways related to diabetes. Insufficient production of insulin can lead to serious health consequences like diabetes. When insulin is lacking or ineffective, excess glucose accumulates in the bloodstream instead of being absorbed by cells for energy conversion. Therefore, understanding the molecular intricacies behind insulin's function holds great significance for healthcare advancements. With its precise detailing and scientific accuracy, this artwork represents more than just an aesthetic marvel; it symbolizes progress in proteomics research and biochemistry studies. Courtesy of LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print stands out as both visually striking and intellectually stimulating within the realm of medical illustration.
