How does insulin affect the body?

Answer 1

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates the level of glucose, a simple sugar that provides energy, in the blood. The human body requires a steady amount of glucose throughout the day, and that glucose comes from the foods people eat. Obviously, though, people don't spend the entire day eating a bit of food at a time to maintain a steady stream of glucose. This is where insulin comes into play.

Answer 2

The insulin promotes the intake of glucose to cells and subsequently its store as glycogen in certain tissues -> the liver and muscles.

So it helps to regulate the carbohidrate and fat metabolism in the body. The last mechanism is because the insulin inhibits the use of fat as an energy source by inhibiting the glucagon release.
