Question:

How does insulin reduce the level the of glucose the blood?

Author: Alana Ray



Answer:

Insulin travels in the blood stream all around the body and triggers body cells to intake glucose from the blood. Insulin also triggers liver and muscle cells to store excess glucose as a storage molecule called glycogen. Therefore insulin reduces the level of glucose in the blood because when glucose is taken out of the blood, and stored, the concentration of glucose return to its normal level.
