Regulates Blood Sugar Levels:

• Insulin helps lower blood sugar (glucose) levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells. It acts as a "key" that unlocks the cell membranes, allowing glucose to enter and be used for energy.

Promotes Glucose Storage:

• Insulin encourages the liver and muscles to store glucose in the form of glycogen. This stored glucose can be released when the body needs energy, such as between meals or during exercise.

Fat Storage:

• Insulin also promotes the storage of fat by stimulating the conversion of excess glucose into fat in adipose tissue (fat cells). It inhibits the breakdown of fat for energy (lipolysis).

Protein Synthesis:

• Insulin plays a role in building and repairing proteins by stimulating the uptake of amino acids into cells. It helps in the growth and repair of muscle tissue
