    Which of the following is not a function of liver?

    A)  Production of bile

    B)  Production of insulin

    C)  Glycogen storage

    D)  Detoxification

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Insulin is produced by \[\beta \]-cells of islets of Langerhans of pancreas. Liver secretes bile, which is a complex watery fluid containing bile salts (Na taurocholate and Na glycocholate). Excess quantities of glucose are converted into glycogen (glycogenesis) in the  presence of insulin in the liver cells and stored there. The liver is the site of detoxification of different toxic substances either produced in the body or taken along with food.
