Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The tissues that are primary targets of the insulin should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Insulin is a type of anabolic hormone which is produced and secreted by islets cells of the pancreas. The main function of insulin is to control the blood glucose level in the body. It prevents the high glucose level (hyperglycemia) and low blood glucose level (hypoglycemia).
