Question 1

physiological actions of insulin

Answer 1

-increased glucose uptake

-increased glycogenesis (the formation of glycogen for storage) in the skeletal muscle and liver

• decrease glycogenolysis (breakdown of glycogen to glucose)

decrease gluconeogenesis (formation of glucose from non-carbohydrate precursors)

net effect is a decrease of blood glucose

insulin is the only hormone that decreases blood glucose levels
