glucagon‚ somatostatin‚ catecholamines and hypokalaemia (Brown & Edwards 2008). A major response of insulin on glucose metabolism occurs in the liver‚ where the hormone stimulates glucose to be integrated into glycogen and triglycerides by stopping gluconeogenesis (Brown & Edwards 2008). Another important role of insulin is in the peripheral tissues where it facilitates glucose into cells‚ transport of amino acids across muscle membranes to synthesise into protein and transport of trigylcerides into adipose
