LP14676-8   Insulin
A protein hormone secreted by beta cells of the pancreas. Insulin plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, generally promoting the cellular utilization of glucose. It is also an important regulator of protein and lipid metabolism. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Source: National Library of Medicine, MeSH 2006

LP14676-8   Insulin
Insulin is a hormone secreted by the islet cells of the pancreas when an increase in blood glucose is detected. Insulin attaches to the insulin receptors on the surface of most of the cells. When insulin binds its receptor, other receptors are activated so that glucose is taken up by the cells. Intracellular glucose is used as a source of energy.

Mapping Guidance Regenstrief Help (Per Wikipedia http://bit.ly/hohGbq) 1 IU is the biological equivalent of about 45.5 μg pure crystalline insulin (1/22 mg exactly). This corresponds to the old USP insulin unit, first suggested by Frederick Banting et.al. in 1922. Mapper’s Guide for the Top 2000 plus LOINC Laboratory Observations
