Increased Rate Effects Glucose Cells State Insulin Absorption

Insulin increases glucose absorption and cellular respiration, stimulates glycogenesis and glucose-to-fat conversion, and inhibits glucagon release.

Insulin increases glucose absorption and respiration, promotes glycogenesis and glucose-to-fat conversion, and inhibits glucagon release.

Front State the effects insulin has on cells.
Back Effects of insulin:
  • Increased rate of absorption of glucose by cells
  • Increased respiratory rate of cells
  • Increased rate of glycogenesis
  • Increased rate of glucose to fat conversion
  • Inhibiting release of glucagon
