Insulin Sensitivity Pathway
- Molecular classification
- Signaling Pathway
01
Overview
The insulin sensitivity pathway refers to the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which cells respond to insulin, a hormone critical for regulating glucose, lipid, and energy homeostasis. This pathway is essential for maintaining normal blood glucose levels and involves a complex network of signaling events initiated when insulin binds to its receptor on target cells such as liver, skeletal muscle, and adipose tissue. Defects at any point in this signaling cascade can lead to reduced cellular responsiveness—termed *insulin resistance*—a hallmark feature of type 2 diabetes mellitus and other cardiometabolic diseases.
