The maintenance of normal carbohydrate tolerance requires the coordinated interaction of glucose, insulin, and glucagon. In the postabsorptive state the inhibitory effect of insulin on hepatic glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis is precisely balanced by the stimulatory effect of glucagon.
The effects of insulin vary depending on the tissue involved, e.g., insulin is most important in the uptake of glucose by muscle and adipose tissue. This insulin signal transduction pathway is composed of trigger mechanisms (e.g., autophosphorylation mechanisms) that serve as signals throughout the cell. There is also a counter mechanism in the body to stop the secretion of insulin beyond a certain limit.
