Insulin secreted from $\beta$-cell of islets of Langerhans (endocrine part of pancreas) affects liver, muscle and adipose tissue. In the muscular tissue, it acts to promote carbohydrate metabolism and storage of glycogen. In liver cells, it favours glycogenesis, glycolysis and increases lipogenesis. In adipose tissue, it enhances the membrane transfer of glucose and promotes lipogenesis.
