Abstract: Correlating Altered Insulin Sensitivity and MetS: Insulin is an anabolic hormone and regulates glucose homeostasis and other metabolic processes in various organs. With aging, there occurs an impairment of glucose-stimulated insulin pulse mass, amplitude and rhythmicity due to deterioration of β-cell function and progressive loss of β-cell mass. Further, with aging there occurs a reduction in insulin sensitivity leading to insulin resistance (IR) involving liver, striated muscle, adipose tissue and other organs. At the cellular level, the insulin triggers signaling cascades that regulate cell metabolism, cell proliferation and cell survival.
