∙ 9y agoIncreased levels of glucagon decrease the amount of glycogen stored in the liver. This occurs because the increase prevents hepatocytes from consuming more glucose to increase glycogen.

What is an important effect in an increase in glycogenolysis in the liver?
insulin I m not really very sure but you can ask it to your prof.
What hormone causes liver cells to release glucose?
The hormone glucagon stimulates the liver to release glucose into the blood when glucose levels are low.
What does the glucagon do as a hormone and where is it produced?
Glucagon converts glucose into glycogen,it is produced from liver
What effect would increase levels of gglucagon have on the amount of glycogen stored in the liver?
Increased levels of glucagon stimulate the conversion of glycogen to glucose in the liver, which would in turn reduce the amount of glycogen in the liver.
What tissue does glucagon target?
it targets the liver
Name a hormone involved in the processing of carbohydrate in the liver?
Glucagon
Glucagon prompts what organs to convert glycogen to glucose?
liver
Where is glucagon in your body?
It is produced in pancrease.It transported by blood and works on liver.
What is the primary target for glucagon?
The thiopsyneses organ
How the hormones glucagon and insulin work together to control blood-glucose levels?
The pancreas has specialized cells that make two different hormones, insulin and glucagon. These two hormones control the level of glucose in the blood. Insulin lowers blood-glucose levels by telling the liver to convert glucose into glycose and to store glycogen for the future. Glucagon has the opposite effect. It tells the liver to convert glycogen into glucose and to release the glucose into the blood.
What glucagon does?
Glucagon: increases blood glucose by braking down glycogen by the liver (glycogenolysis)
What hormone opposes the effect of glucagon?
insulin
