| Figure 2 : Key biochemical events that underlie the responses of target cells to insulin summarized in Figure 1. Each green arrow denotes a process stimulated by insulin, whereas a dashed red arrow denotes inhibition by insulin, All these effects, except for those exerted on the transport of glucose and amino acids, are mediated by insulin-dependent enzyme. The bowed arrows denote pathways whose reversibility is mediated by different enzyme.
