What Are The Effects Of Insulin In The Body

Insulin has multiple effects in the body but the main ones are the regulation of glucose metabolism, lipid and protein metabolism, and the effects on the vascular function on platelets and the nervous system.
In the metabolism of glucose the insulin regulates the glucose by promoting the intake of the glucose through the insulin-sensitive tissues and by the inhibiting hepatic glucose production. The beta cells that control the insulin secretion is controlled directly by the plasma glucose concentration. This controls the increase in plasma glucose which causes the increase of insulin secretion.
