Glucose is a sugar cells use for energy. The molecules are broken down to create energy molecules to power cellular processes. Insulin and glucagon are two pancreatic hormones that help to restore glucose to normal levels.
Although, normal levels are not always the case when the level rises, actions need to be taken in order to lower it by secreting insulin. Insulin causes the rate of glucose transport from the blood to increase in the cells. This will rise cellular rate of glucose utilization as an energy source. As a result, it speeds up the glucose in the liver and skeletal muscle cells to form glycogen. Lastly, the insulin increases fat synthesis in the liver cells and adipose tissue. This process will cause the blood glucose concentration
