The role of insulin as it relates to body fat storage is that the pancreas releases insulin which informs the fat cells to absorb sugar or glucose. The cells in the body use the energy from the sugars stored in the body’s fat. So insulins role is to tell the fat cells to absorb sugar which will allow the body to use the fat as a form of energy.
