Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The press release of Lilly and Genentech in the development of Insulin has to be summarized.

Concept Introduction:

Insulin:

It is a hormone secreted by the pancreas that is located at the right side of the abdomen. Insulin helps to absorb the blood sugar which is known as glucose from the carbohydrates that we eat. It allows the glucose in the blood to enter all the cells of our body so as to provide energy throughout the body. Therefore, insulin maintains the blood sugar level in the body by preventing it from getting too high or too low.
