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.
| Front | Effect of insulin binding to receptors |
|---|---|
| Back | Rate of glucose absorption increases into cells especially muscle cells Increase rate of respiration of glucose Increased conversion of glucose to glycogen in liver and muscle cells Increased conversion of glucose and fat |
