Insulin causes
A
a decrease in the concentration of blood glucose
B
a decrease in the permeability of cell membranes to glucose
C
an increase in the production of glucose from glycogen
D
a release of adrenaline into the body
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Insulin reduces the body’s blood sugar levels and provides cells with glucose for energy by helping cells absorb glucose. When blood sugar levels are too low, the pancreas releases glucagon. Glucagon instructs the liver to release stored glucose, which causes the body’s blood sugar levels to rise.

Detailed explanation-2: -Insulin helps blood sugar enter the body’s cells so it can be used for energy. Insulin also signals the liver to store blood sugar for later use. Blood sugar enters cells, and levels in the bloodstream decrease, signaling insulin to decrease too.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glucagon increases blood glucose levels, whereas insulin decreases them. Somatostatin inhibits both, glucagon and insulin release, 6 whereas PP regulates the exocrine and endocrine secretion activity of the pancreas.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hypoglycemia: Hypoglycemia is most often seen iatrogenically in diabetic patients secondary to glucose-lowering drugs. This condition occurs, especially in the inpatient setting, with the interruption of the patient’s usual diet.

Detailed explanation-5: -Insulin causes glucose to deposited in the liver as glycogen; then, during the next few hours, when blood glucose concentration falls, the liver releases glucose back into the blood, decreasing fluctuations. Clinical significance: During severe liver disease, it is impossible to maintain blood glucose concentration.
