you talked about how important insulin is you use the term catabolic but in contrast to its role which is as such an anabolic gatekeeper and therefore in the absence of it you enter this catabolic state so talk to me about what you mean by the anab ilysm of insulin ultimately insulin is a key factor that's regulating virtually every cell in the body and and it's essentially deciding whether a cell is in a state of feast or famine and so if you're in feast it's time to take nutrients and park them in the cell and if it's famine hey let's mobilize some nutrients and make them available to keep the organism alive and so it's a master regulator of your state of metabolism
