Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Insulin Receptor is a type of tyrosine kinase receptor, in which the binding of an agonistic ligand triggers autophosphorylation of the tyrosine residues, with each subunit phosphorylating its partner.
Detailed explanation-2: -Objective: Adrenaline inhibits insulin secretion through activation of alpha(2)-adrenoceptors (ARs). These receptors are linked to pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins.
Detailed explanation-3: -When you have type 2 diabetes, your fat, liver, and muscle cells do not respond correctly to insulin. This is called insulin resistance. As a result, blood sugar does not get into these cells to be stored for energy.
