The basic difference is that Insulin is a peptide hormone and Estrogen is a steroid hormone. The only way Estrogen does its work is by activating DNA transcription of enzymes and this takes time because you first have to transcribe the mRNA of the enzyme then this mRNA has to be processed and then it has to be translated into the protein structure of the enzyme. On the other hand some of the functions of insulin just involve changing the activity level of already existing enzymes and this is a quicker process.

Why anti-estrogen therapy lead to increase in cholesterol level?
This is because the falling oestrogen means that your insulin increases - as you body thinks that it is insulin-resistant. The increased insulin leads to higher cholesterol, and much else - furred up arteries, higher sugar levels, central weight-gain. Go on metformin to handle this.
What hormones is only used by males?
Testosterone is vital to a man’s health. Men have estrogen too, it’s just in much smaller quantities than women, so it plays less of a role.

Concerns with gentically engineered insulin?
Apart from idealogical concerns there shouldn't be any. Genetically engineered insulin is much, much safer than extracting insulin from pig's panreas as they did before they isolated the human insulin gene.
Is insulin or glucose bigger?
An insulin molecule is much bigger than a glucose molecule.
What is hypersecretion of insulin?

Have estrogen levels in birth control pills changed?
