So what happens when too much insulin is present?

[Smoozable]

@Ouchimoo too much glucose will be utilized by the cells leading to hypoglycemia

[Ouchimoo]

@Smoozable - that's what I kind of figured but couldn't find anything that really verified it. Thanks so much! Going farther, do the cells become damaged with too much of an overload?

[Smoozable]

@Ouchimoo will in case of hyperinulinemia this is what i found on wikipedia :  May lead to hypoglycemia or diabetes Increased risk of PCOS Increased synthesis of VLDL (hypertriglyceridemia) Hypertension (insulin increases sodium retention by the renal tubules) Coronary Artery Disease (increased insulin damages endothelial cells) Increased risk of cardiovascular disease Weight gain and lethargy (possibly connected to an underactive thyroid)

hey im doing a biomedical project and would like to know if you have job in the medical field because i would like to get proper information

and the video was very helpful other than reading a whole artical on insulin

[roopanca]

and what is ATP used for? energy right.

[will0wamber]

glucose dont deliver energy into the cell its used by the cell to make ATP

[srbkn]

I didn't get the bit @ 1:05

Do animal cells have cell walls?

[will0wamber]

@srbkn no but they have cell membranes

[Esoparagon]

Not totally true since the body can use ketones in cells for fuel not just glucose.
