Insulin receptors are described as surface structures that allow insulin to unlock glucose entry into cells. Glucose leaves the blood and becomes available for cellular energy through insulin-mediated receptor activity. A metabolically healthy body balances receptor number, circulating insulin, and blood glucose. Cells can up-regulate insulin receptors when glucose is no longer oversupplied.
