As we have studied about Insulin:

  • Insulin converts glucose into glycogen in the liver and muscles.
  • It promotes protein synthesis in tissue from amino acids.
  • It increases the synthesis of fat in the adipose tissue from fatty acids.
  • Insulin reduces the breakdown and oxidation of fat.
  • Insulin acts on the cells of the liver muscles and adipose tissue.
