Insulin is a hormone produced by the beta cells of pancreas. It is released in a pulsatile fashion and plays an important role in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats and promotes the absorption of glucose from blood to the skeletal muscles and fat tissues. In a healthy individual, insulin is available within the body in a constant proportion to remove excess glucose from the blood which otherwise would be toxic.
