The maintenance of normal carbohydrate tolerance requires the coordinated interaction of glucose, insulin, and glucagon. In the postabsorptive state the inhibitory effect of insulin on hepatic glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis is precisely balanced by the stimulatory effect of glucagon.
Insulin is released from the pancreas into the bloodstream. It is a hormone essential for us to live and has many effects on the whole body, mainly in controlling how the body uses carbohydrate and fat found in food. Insulin allows cells in the muscles, liver and fat (adipose tissue) to take up sugar (glucose) that has been absorbed into the bloodstream from food.
