Insulin helps glucose enter cells by binding to receptors on the cell surface, allowing glucose to be transported into the cell. It is released in response to rising blood glucose levels, such as after meals, and promotes the uptake and storage of glucose in cells. Insulin also inhibits the breakdown of glycogen in the liver and muscle, which helps to maintain blood glucose levels during fasting periods.
