Question

Team JKSSB Mock Tests · Accepted Answer

Insulin is a peptide hormone secreted by the beta cells of the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. Its primary function is to lower blood glucose levels (hypoglycemic effect) by promoting the cellular uptake of glucose, particularly in muscle and fat cells, and its conversion to glycogen (glycogenesis) in the liver. Glucagon has the opposite effect.
