Glucokinase

In the fed state, clearance of blood  glucose is mainly by  liver via glucokinase. Glucokinase, which  is an  inducible enzyme, removes most of the blood glucose from circulation after a carbohydrate meal. Further, uptake of glucose also takes place in the extra-hepatic tissues (such as muscle, adipose tissue etc.) favoured by insulin. These two mechanisms regulate the blood glucose  level in the fed state.
