The correct answer is 'Protein'

Key Points

  • Insulin:
    • Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that plays a crucial role in regulating blood glucose levels.
    • Chemically, insulin is a protein composed of amino acids. It consists of two chains (A and B) linked by disulfide bonds.
    • Proteins are essential macromolecules in the body that perform a wide range of functions, including acting as enzymes, hormones, and structural components.

Additional Information

  • Fat:
    • Fats are a group of lipids that are essential for storing energy and insulating the body. They are not involved in the direct regulation of blood glucose levels.
  • Steroid:
    • Steroids are a class of lipids that include hormones like cortisol and sex hormones. Insulin is not a steroid but a protein hormone.
  • Carbohydrate:
    • Carbohydrates are organic compounds that serve as a primary energy source for the body. They are not hormones and do not regulate blood glucose levels directly.
