The role of insulin in the body. Insulin is a hormone which plays a number of roles in the bodyâs metabolism. Insulin regulates how the body uses and stores glucose and fat. Many of the bodyâs cells rely on insulin to take glucose from the blood for energy. Insulin helps control blood glucose levels by signaling the liver and muscle and fat cells to take in glucose from the blood.
