Glucose converted to glycogen- for storageLiver cells respire more glucose/faster rate of respirationMore is required to explain how insulin return blood glucose to normal upon a shift from equilibrium and a change from baseline function.This falls within Homeostasis and responseOther examples include:Thermoregulation, Osmoregulation and Urea cycle
