Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insulin promotes glycogenesis, which is the process of converting glucose to glycogen for storage in the liver and muscle cells.  The primary hormonal effects of insulin are the conversion of carbon energy into storage molecules. These actions include the incorporation of glucose into glycogen and the activation of lipogenesis pathways to increase the synthesis of triglycerides. Catabolic processes are inhibited in response to insulin actions.
