After being released from the pancreas,insulin travels through the the blood to the target organs specially the liver and skeletal muscle fibers where it helps in the conversion of glucose into glycogen for storage.

What hormone promotes storage of glucose by the liver?
Insulin
What glands and organs are involved in insulin?
the organs involved in insulin are liver and liver muscle and the pancreas
Does insulin mobilize liver glycogen to yield glucose?
No, insulin stimulates the liver to produce glycogen from glucose. Glucagon mobilizes liver glycogen to yield glucose.
Which organ destroys the insulin after it has its effect?
The liver and kidneys destroy insulin after it has its effect. The pancreas is the site of insulin production.
The first organ to respond to rise in glucose blood level?
pancreas
What steroid does the liver produce into bloodstream?
insulin
Are all sugars transported to the liver?
yes
Where is digested food transported for metabolism?
Liver .
Does the liver store insulin?
As noted in the expert answer - the pancreas, not the liver, manufactures insulin. The pancreas sits in a space in the abdominal cavity near the liver. It is behind the stomach and a bit below the liver. The pancreatic duct from the pancreas joins up with the bile duct from the liver and gall bladder where the two ducts enter the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine that connects to the stomach) through the major duodenal papilla.
What hormone affects the storage of glycogen in the liver?
Insulin
What does insulin cause the liver to change glucose into?
Insulin causes the glucose in your blood to enter the cells for energy. It does not cause the liver to change glucose into anything. Your liver does, however, store extra sugar in the form of glucagon.
Is liver insulin sensitive?
Normal human livers are highly sensitive to insulin. Hepatocytes, or liver cells, have numerous insulin receptors on their surfaces which bind to insulin and then trigger glycogen synthesis, soaking up free glucose in the bloodstream and forming long polymer chains for later use as fuel. Studies have shown, however, that diabetic individuals have decreased sensitivity to insulin not only generally but also specifically in the liver, due partly to a decrease in the number of insulin receptors.
