Description:

The image provides a simplified illustration of insulin action in a healthy state compared to its dysfunction in Type I and Type II diabetes. The illustration shows how insulin interacts with its receptor to facilitate the transport of glucose into cells through a glucose transporter (GLUT4).

In a healthy state, insulin binds to the insulin receptor on the cell surface, prompting the GLUT4 transporter to move to the cell surface and allow glucose to enter the cell. In Type I diabetes, insulin is not produced, denoted by the red cross, preventing the normal uptake of glucose into cells. In Type II diabetes, despite the presence of insulin, the insulin receptor is unresponsive (as depicted by the red 'X' on the receptor), leading to inadequate glucose uptake.
