Increasing Prevalence of Diabetes and Launch of Integrated Diabetes Solutions to Augment Growth of Insulin Market
Insulin is a soluble, polysaccharide glycan hormone produced by pancreatic beta cells in the pancreas; it is presently considered the most important hormones of the human body. It controls the metabolism of protein, fats, and carbohydrates by stimulating the absorption of glucose in the bloodstream into fat, liver and muscle tissues. It also stimulates the utilization of proteins for energy production in the cells and helps in the storage of glycogen, a glucose-energy reserve in the liver and muscles. Glycogen is responsible for storing glucose and other nutrients during physical exercise. The release of insulin in the bloodstream causes stimulation of carbohydrate metabolism in the liver, resulting in low blood glucose levels. Market Dynamics Increasing prevalence of diabetes is expected to propel growth of the global insulin market. For instance, according to the study, “Global and regional diabetes prevalence estimates for 2019 and projections for 2030 and 2045: Results f...
