insulinn.

Brit.

/ˈɪnsjᵿlɪn/, U.S.

/ˈɪnsəlᵻn/

Forms: Also † insuline.

Etymology: < Latin insula island (because it is produced by the islets of Langerhans) + -in suffix¹.

Biochemistry.

A polypeptide hormone (the amino-acid composition differing slightly from species to species) which is concerned with carbohydrate metabolism in man and some other vertebrates, being produced by the islets of Langerhans and having effects that include the removal of sugar from the blood (so that a deficiency of insulin causes diabetes mellitus) and the promotion of protein synthesis and fat storage. The name insulin(e) was proposed for the hormone on three separate occasions, each time independently: see quot. 1926.

1914 E. A. Schäfer Introd. Study Endocrine Glands 84 The results of pancreas-extirpation and pancreas-grafting can..be best explained by supposing that the islet-tissue produces an autacoid substance which passes into the blood and affects carbohydrate metabolism and carbohydrate storage in such a manner that there is no undue accumulation of glucose in the blood.
