∙ 11y ago
Your body seeks to convert glucose to glycogen and glycogen to glucose based on hormonal signals that are secreted in response to an event. i.e. if you ate tons of sugary food, your body will secrete a hormone called insulin from the beta cells of the pancreas, so that glucose in the blood will be able to be stored as glycogen in the muscle cells.

Do insulin change cell permeability to glucose?
There is no mention of cell permeability in the Wikipedia article. What insulin does is increase the transport of glucose within cells. As the cells use insulin more, the blood sugar decreases. Certain cell types need insulin to get proper glucose levels, so that is why someone with diabetes might be hungry all the time and still losing weight. So cells can starve even when the blood glucose levels are high.The insulin receptors regulate the number and operation of transporter proteins. Insulin tells fat cells to store glucose. It also tells the pancreas to not release glucagon. Glucgon causes the liver to convert stored glycogen to glucose. So insulin helps prevent that process.
