Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insulin promotes the storage of excess glucose as glycogen in the liver and increases the uptake of glucose by adipose (fat) tissue, promoting the storage of excess glucose as body fat. Glucagon, cortisol, and epinephrine have the opposite effect and promote the release of glucose from glycogen stores and increase blood glucose levels.
