## Abstract The actin cytoskeleton is a dynamic structure necessary for cell and tissue organization, including the maintenance of epithelial barriers. The epithelial barrier regulates the movement of ions, macromolecules, immune cells, and pathogens, and is thus essential for normal organ function
Insulin has diverse effects on cells, including stimulation of glucose transport, gene expression, and alterations of cell morphology. The hormone mediates these effects by activation of signaling pathways which utilize, 1) adaptor molecules such as the insulin receptor substrates (IRS), the Src and
