Question

Team JKSSB Mock Tests · Accepted Answer

Insulin acts primarily on liver, muscle, and adipose tissue. The liver is a key target where insulin promotes glycogenesis (glucose to glycogen), glycolysis, and lipogenesis, and inhibits gluconeogenesis, lowering blood glucose. Muscle and adipose tissue also respond. Brain takes up glucose independently of insulin via GLUT1 transporters. Thus liver is a principal target.
