Metabolic control is vital throughout life, with insulin-produced by pancreatic beta-cells—playing a key role. Insulin regulates fetal growth, body fat, and, when deficient, leads to diabetes. This drives our studies of insulin secretion and action in order to understand how early nutrition influence metabolic health.
