Detailed explanation-1: -The function which was not performed by the insulin is to Initiate the conversion of glycogen to glucose. Insulin helps in glycogenesis, it is the process of glycogen synthesis, in which glucose molecules are added to chains of glycogen for storage.
Detailed explanation-2: -Insulin regulates glucose levels in the bloodstream and induces glucose storage in the liver, muscles, and adipose tissue, resulting in overall weight gain.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glycogenolysis is the biochemical pathway in which glycogen breaks down into glucose-1-phosphate and glucose. The reaction takes place in the hepatocytes and the myocytes. The process is under the regulation of two key enzymes: phosphorylase kinase and glycogen phosphorylase.
