Correct Answer: decreases blood sugar


Solution : The correct answer is decreasing blood sugar.

Insulin and glycogen together regulate the blood sugar level in the human body. Insulin is a hormone secreted by the pancreas which decreases the blood sugar level. It is released by beta cells in the 'islets of Langerhans' in the Pancreas. It converts Glucose into Glycogen through a process known as Glycogenesis. This Glycogen is again converted into Glucose when energy is required.
