As much as insulin has a very pronounced central effect or directed effect on fat cells to stimulate their growth, insulin also has effects at the brain stimulating to a degree some degree of appetite or satiety in various instances. Not to mention the effect that insulin has on leptin levels from the fat cells. Again, a direct effect at the fat cell.

But insulin will also elicit a whole body effect to slow metabolic rate. We have known that for decades.

Indeed, over a hundred years ago, two famous Harvard scientists, Elliot P. Joslin and Francis G. Benedict, Joslin kind of being the father of modern endocrinology, Benedict being the father of modern metabolism, they came together to try to understand the metabolism in what they called severe diabetes, which we would just say kind of uncontrolled type one diabetes.

that they noted in these individuals who have no insulin, their metabolic rate was 20 to 30% higher than it should be. There was something uncontrolled, this fire just raging through their body. And you see this in people with type 1 diabetes. In fact, it's so obvious that some type 1 diabetics are tempted to capitalize on it and engage in a

pattern of disordered eating, which is commonly called diabulimia. In other words, the type 1 diabetic learns that if they can eat whatever they want and enjoy it, eat it, swallow it, and keep it in their stomach and digest it, and they can be as skinny as they want to by simply deliberately underdosing their insulin.

That is the most powerful evidence of the absolute requirement of insulin in telling fat cells to grow or to shrink, because they learn Again, if they skip their injections, they will be as skinny as they want. Now, there is metabolic mayhem in the body in that instance. Their glucose levels are 10 times higher than they should be. Their ketones are 10 or 20 times higher than it should be.
