Insulin is a hormone that is important for metabolism and utilization of energy from the ingested nutrients - especially glucose.

Explanation:

Insulin has several broad actions including:

It causes the cells in the liver, muscle, and fat tissue to take up glucose from blood and convert it to glycogen that can be stored in the liver and muscles

Insulin also prevents the utilization of fat as an energy source. In absence of insulin or in conditions where insulin is low glucose is not taken up by body cells, and the body begins to use fat as an energy source

Insulin also controls other body systems and regulates the amino acid uptake by body cells

It has several other anabolic effects throughout the body as well
