Can you explain how insulin takes glucose from the bloodstream and transfers it to cells, where mitochondria convert it into energy/ATP? This question is in the context of the episode Unlock Good Energy: The Miracle of Metabolism with Casey Means and the clip Mitochondrial Energy Dynamics. Glucose disposal is tied directly to blood glucose and insulin.
Is my understanding of glucose disposal correct? Glucose disposal is tied directly to blood glucose and insulin. Basically, once glucose is consumed, it gets digested quickly and enters the bloodstream. In insulin-sensitive and metabolically healthy people, the hormone insulin is released. Insulin (through a process I'm unaware of and want to know) takes the glucose from the bloodstream and transfers it to cells, where mitochondria convert it to energy/ATP.
How does insulin take glucose from the bloodstream and transfer it to cells, where mitochondria convert it into energy/ATP, as discussed in the episode "Dr. Peter Attia on Mastering Longevity – Insights on Cancer Prevention, Heart Disease, and Aging" and the clip "Glucose Regulation Insights"?
