<prompt> Insulin mediated glucose transport is seen in -Adipose tissueBrainRBCKidney  <response>: Ans. is a i.e., Adipose tissue Ref: Ganong 24the p. 435o Insulin stimulates the uptake of glucose by myocytes skeletal muscle, cardiac muscles, adipocytes adipose tissue and hepatocytes. Tissues that do not depend on insulin for glucose uptake include brain, erythrocytes RBC, the epithelial cells of kidney intestine. Liver, and Cornea lens of eye.o The mechanism through which insulin increases glucose uptake is different in different tissues. In the muscle and adipose tissues, insulin increase facilitated diffusion by increasing glucose transporter GLUT4 on the cell membrane.o In the liver, insulin stimulates glucose entry into hepatocytes indirectly by induction of glucokinase so that the glucose entering the liver cells is promptly converted to glucose - 6 - phosphate glucose trapping. This keeps the intracellular glucose concentration low and favours entry of glucose into the liver. Thus, though the liver do not depend on insulin for glucose uptake, insulin stimulates glucose entry into hepatocytes. That means glucose entery can occur in liver without the action of insulin, but this is facilitated by insulin. On the other hand, myocytes skeletal and cardiac muslces and adipocytes adipose tissue are dependent on insulin for glucose uptake.
