Different tissues are known to respond differently to insulin. Although tissue sensitivity to the hormone correlates with the levels of insulin receptors expressed on the plasma membrane, it is clear the assembly of different components of the insulin signaling pathway also confers specificity of insulin action on target cells. Insulin stimulates glucose turnover, favoring its influx into cells, followed by oxidative metabolism to release energy or produce lipids or by nonoxidative metabolism to store glucose as glycogen.
