  3. Insulin is released from Beta cells of the pancreas in response to increased glucose concentrations (>5mmols/l), amino acids or stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system. the major action of insulin are to stimulate glucose uptake into muscle and adipose tissue (GLUT4 Transporter), stimulate gylcogen synthesis, stimulate amino acid uptake and protein synthesis, and stimulate lipogenisis whilst inhibiting lipolysis.
