Insulin molecule
Insulin. Computer artwork of a molecule of insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas. It consists of two peptide chains, A (centre to right) and B (left). The chains are linked by disulphide bridges (ribbons). Insulin is released from the pancreas when blood sugar levels are high, for example after a meal. It instructs liver, muscle and fat cells to absorb the glucose and store it as glycogen (liver and muscle) or fat. Insufficient production of insulin leads to an accumulation of glucose in the blood causing diabetes.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structure of an insulin molecule, beautifully depicted through computer artwork. Insulin, a vital hormone produced by the pancreas, plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels within our bodies. The molecule consists of two peptide chains known as A and B, which are interconnected by disulphide bridges resembling elegant ribbons. When blood sugar levels rise after a meal, insulin is released from the pancreas to initiate a series of instructions for liver, muscle, and fat cells. Its primary function is to prompt these cells to absorb glucose and store it either as glycogen in the liver and muscles or as fat. This process ensures that excess glucose is efficiently managed within our system. However, insufficient production of insulin can lead to diabetes—a condition characterized by elevated levels of glucose in the bloodstream. As such, this mesmerizing image serves not only as an artistic representation but also highlights the critical importance of understanding insulin's molecular structure and its impact on human health. Through this visually stunning portrayal created using advanced computer graphics techniques, Science Photo Library provides us with a deeper appreciation for the complexity and significance of this essential hormone in maintaining our overall well-being.
