Insulin: An elevated blood glucose concentration results in the secretion of insulin: glucose is transported into body cells. The uptake of glucose by liver, kidney and brain cells is by diffusion and does not require insulin.
Glucose (âblood sugarâ) provides the cells in the body with the energy. they need to live and function. Cells can only absorb glucose from the. blood in the presence of insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced in an. organ called the pancreas. Sometimes the pancreas becomes unable. to produce enough insulin, or the cells in the body fail to respond to. insulin properly, meaning that: i) the cells in the body cannot absorb. enough glucose and. ii) too much glucose remains in the blood.
