Question

Which of the following represents the action of insulin?

• A. Increases blood glucose level by stimulating glucagon production
• B. Decreases blood glucose level by forming glycogen
• C. Increases blood glucose level promoting cellular uptake of glucose
• D. Increases blood glucose level by hydrolysis of glycogen

Answer 1

The correct option is B Decreases blood glucose level by forming glycogen

Insulin and glucagon are vital for maintaining normal ranges of blood sugar. Insulin allows the cells to absorb glucose from the blood. So they decrease glucose levels in the blood.
While glucagon triggers a release of stored glucose from the liver and its level increases in the blood.
