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.
