Target Information
In felines, Insulin (INS) is a hormone produced by pancreatic β-cells, regulating blood glucose levels by promoting glucose uptake and utilization. Insulin is crucial for managing feline diabetes through subcutaneous injections. Common types include long-acting insulin (e.g., Glargine) and intermediate-acting insulin (e.g., Lente). Abnormal insulin secretion or action can lead to diabetes, a common endocrine disorder.
