Glucose Cells Rate Muscle Increased Conversion Effect Insulin

Insulin binding to receptors increases glucose uptake into cells, boosts glucose respiration, and promotes the conversion of glucose to glycogen and fat.

This card details the effects of insulin binding to receptors: increased glucose uptake by cells, higher respiration rates, and increased conversion of glucose to glycogen and fat.
