Biochem/physiol Actions

Regulates the cellular uptake, utilization, and storage of glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids and inhibits the breakdown of glycogen, protein, and fat.
Two-chain polypeptide hormone produced by the β-cells of pancreatic islets. Its molecular weight is ~5800 Da. The α and β chains are joined by two interchain disulfide bonds. The α chain contains an intrachain disulfide bond. Insulin regulates the cellular uptake, utilization, and storage of glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids and inhibits the breakdown of glycogen, protein, and fat.

The recent recognition of gadolinium (Gd) administration as a cause of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF) is a growing concern. The similarity of Gd and lanthanum (La), based on their place in the table of Mendeljev, has led to assumptions that

Controlling serum phosphorus levels in patients with renal failure is critical. The use of oral phosphate-binding agents is universal for patients with end-stage kidney disease to reduce phosphate absorption. The therapeutic goal is to reduce serum phosphorus levels without disturbing

Phosphate overload is a dramatic consequence in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Recent studies have well documented that abnormalities in mineral and bone metabolism in these patients are associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Elevated serum phosphate and calcium-phosphate
