Insulin Sensitivity Pathway (Peripheral Tissue)

Molecular classification
Signaling pathway
01

Overview

The insulin sensitivity pathway in peripheral tissues refers to the molecular and cellular mechanisms by which insulin promotes glucose uptake and metabolism in non-hepatic tissues, primarily skeletal muscle and adipose tissue. These pathways are critical for maintaining whole-body glucose homeostasis. Impairment of this pathway leads to peripheral insulin resistance, a hallmark of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
