Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insulin reduces levels of blood glucose in the body by stimulating the uptake and utilization of glucose by cells. When blood glucose levels decrease, it signals to the body that it needs more nutrients, which can lead to feelings of hunger and the desire to eat. Therefore, insulin indirectly influences eating and hunger by regulating blood glucose levels.
