Which of the following represents the action of insulin?

1. Increases blood glucose levels by hydrolysis of glycogen
2. Increases blood glucose levels by stimulating glucagon production
3. Decreases blood glucose levels of forming glycogen
4. Increases blood glucose level by promoting cellular uptake of glucose

Correct answer: Decreases blood glucose levels of forming glycogen

Solution

Insulin is the main anabolic hormone for glucose control: it promotes glucose uptake by cells and stimulates glycogenesis, which lowers blood glucose. The correct choice matches this storage effect rather than raising glucose.
