Insulin’s Role In Triglyceride Control
Insulin plays a crucial role in controlling lipid metabolism by regulating the breakdown and synthesis of triglycerides. In individuals with hypertriglyceridemia, excessive insulin secretion can suppress lipolysis, leading to increased triglyceride levels. Prescribing insulin therapy can help reduce triglyceride levels by enhancing insulin-mediated glucose uptake and suppressing hepatic very-low-density lipoprotein secretion. The mechanism involves increased…
