(a) Increased blood glucose levels by hydrolysis of glycogen
(b) Increases blood glucose levels by stimulating glucagon production
(c) Decreases blood glucose levels of forming glycogen
(d) Increases blood glucose level by promoting cellular uptake of glucose

Correct Answer:

Decreases blood glucose levels of forming glycogen

Explanation:

Insulin acts mainlyon hepatocytes and adipocytes (Cells of adipose tissue), and enhances cellular glucose uptake and utilization. Insulin also stimulates conservation of glucose to glucogen (glycogenesis) in the target cells.
