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.
