[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1434965, member: 41816"] Hi, I have just read the article through once. My reaction to it is that the first sections of the article are much better than a lot of internet information about RH, but I have a few reservations about some of the comments near the end and it needs a few references to back up some of the statements made. But the last few paragraphs are not so good. Statements about fat blankets, body temperature being affected by blood sugar and insulin being stored in fat cells, are not things that I have heard discussed before, and look to me as if the author was expanding a personal theory. Without references. For all I know insulin [B][I]may [/I][/B]be stored in fat cells, but I have never heard of it. I do know that insulin is stored in the pancreas, ready for release. My understanding is that insulin circulates in the blood and attaches to receptors on the exterior of cells. I am not aware that insulin enters cells. I wonder if [USER=30007]@tim2000s[/USER] has knowledge of this, off the top of his head? His understanding of insulin function is far greater than mine. Had a quick Google and found this, which was interesting and made no mention of insulin being stored in fat cells. [URL]http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/endocrine/pancreas/insulin_phys.html[/URL] The other articles on the vivo colostate site, so I will probably go back and have a better look round later.
