| Front | What are the five ways in which insulin decreases blood glucose concentrations? |
|---|---|
| Back | 1. Increasing the rate of glucose absorption by cells. 2. Increasing the respiratory rate of cells - increases the need for glucose 3. Increasing the rate of glycogenesis - Stimulates the liver to remove glucose from the blood by converting the glucose into glycogen and storing it in the liver and muscle cells. 4. Increasing the rate of glucose conversion into fat 5. Inhibiting the release of glucagon - Stimulates the release of glucose. |
