Q. What is the primary action of insulin in the body ?

A
Enhances the transport of glucose across cell walls
B
Aids in the process of gluconeogenesis
C
Stimulates the pancreatic beta cells
D
Decreases the intestinal absorption of glucose
Solution:

Insulin helps control blood glucose levels by signaling the liver and muscle and fat cells to take in glucose from the blood. Insulin therefore helps cells to take in glucose to be used for energy. If the body has sufficient energy, insulin signals the liver to take up glucose and store it as glycogen.
