Metabolic effects of insulin on adipose tissue, include:
Accelerated transport of glucose
Decrease glucose phosphorylation
Decrease lipoprotein lipase
Increased cyclic AMP
Insulin helps control blood glucose levels by signaling the liver and muscle and fat cells to take in glucose from the blood. Insulin therefore helps cells to take in glucose to be used for energy. If the body has sufficient energy, insulin signals the liver to take up glucose and store it as glycogen.
