How does insulin stimulate glucose transporters in cells, particularly GLUT4, to enhance cellular glucose uptake and maintain energy balance?
Insulin binds to its receptor, triggering a signaling cascade that results in the translocation of GLUT4 vesicles to the cell surface, increasing glucose uptake.
