Metabolic actions of insulin in men and women
Open accessAbstract
Insulin is an important regulator of glucose, lipid, and protein metabolism. It suppresses hepatic glucose and triglyceride production, inhibits adipose tissue lipolysis and whole-body and muscle proteolysis, and stimulates glucose uptake in muscle. In this review we discuss what is currently known about the control of substrate metabolism by insulin in men and women. The data available so far indicate that women are more sensitive to insulin with regards to glucose metabolism (both in the liver and in muscle), whereas there are no differences between men and women in insulin action on lipolysis. Potential differences exist in the regulation of plasma triglyceride concentration and protein metabolism by insulin and in changes in insulin action in response to stimuli (e.g., weight loss and exercise) that are known to alter insulin sensitivity. However, these areas have not been studied comprehensively enough to draw firm conclusions.

Insulin suppresses muscle proteolysis leading to a net gain of muscle protein.
“The anabolic hormone insulin is able to suppress muscle proteolysis leading to a net gain of muscle protein.[15][16][17]”
From Changes in lean body mass with <scp>glucagon‐like peptide</scp> ‐1‐based therapies and mitigation strategies (2024) · cites this paper as [15]
The section “Sex differences in the control of protein metabolism by insulin” states that insulin suppresses muscle protein breakdown, by up to about 50% under the conditions described. It does not establish that this suppression necessarily leads to a net gain of muscle protein; it says insulin’s effect on muscle protein synthesis is unclear and depends substantially on amino acid availability.

Consumption of processed carbohydrates leads to elevated insulin secretion.
“The consumption of processed carbohydrates leads to elevated insulin secretion, which, in turn, promotes glucose oxidation, impairs fat oxidation, facilitates de novo lipogenesis, and promotes storage of fat (2), while at the same time leading to insulin resistance, inflammation (3), and oxidative stress (4).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
