Biology: cells that don’t require insulin to import glucose
Tutoring biology, insulin is bound to come up. The tutor shares a discovery he made today.
Apparently, not all body cells require insulin to import glucose from the blood. I first read that brain and liver cells don’t. Next, I discovered a resource on facebook that suggests not only those, but also red blood cells, skeletal muscles engaged in exercise, and kidney cells can use glucose from the blood without insulin.
Interesting, eh?
