Insulin (secreted by the beta cell of the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas in) causes cells, liver, adipose and muscle cells, to take up glucose from the blood after a meal to prevent hyperglycemia. (Targets Glucose transporter GLUT4 and Glucokinase)

An increase in insulin causes Fatty acid synthesis in the liver (targets Acetyl-CoA carboxylase)

It also causes triacylglycerol synthesis in adipose tissue (targets Lipoprotein lipase)
