Answer: major effect on the liver is that the liver will save the remaining sugar for the organ of the body that requires it e.g heart, kidney. Due to low glucose supply, the liver does produce and alternative called ketones. Which are used as source of energy by the organs.

Explanation: when a person has 1000 insulin receptor, it shows plainly that the person has low(less insulin). insulin plays a big row in the liver cells because it helps glucose production and regulations in the lever cell and when its low it limit it's production that is the required amount of glucose needed by the liver to function properly will be low because the insulin now takes more time in producting the glucose required by the liver.. Because of that, it makes liver to release less glucose into the human body and also the liver tries to find an alternative way to produce energy through ketones(ketogenesis) for the human organs.
