No, insulin stimulates the liver to produce glycogen from glucose. Glucagon mobilizes liver glycogen to yield glucose.

What is the difference between insulin and glucagon?
Insulin signals blood cells like liver and muscle cells. These are used to accelerate the conversion of glucose to glycogen that's stored in the liver. Glucagon attach themselves to liver cells telling them to convert glycogen to glucose and to release glucose into the blood.
Where is excess glucose in the body stored?
It is stored in the liver as glycogen. It is converted into glycogen by insulin.
What hormone removes glucose from the blood and stores it in the liver?
GlucagonINSULIN causes glucose to be removed from the blood stream by having it stored in the form of Glycogen in muscle and liver cellsGLUCAGON causes glycogen to be broken down from liver and muscle tissue and releases glucose into the blood stream, thus increasing circulating blood glucose levels. The hormone, released by the pancreas, is insulin.
Are insulin and glucagon antagonistic hormones?
Yes insulin and glucagon are antagonistic hormones, as they antagonize, or incite a reaction, the liver into transforming glucose into glycogen when the blood sugar levels are high (insulin), and transforming glycogen into glucose when the blood sugar levels are low (glucagon).
Glucose is stored in the liver as?
how Diabetic Ketoacidosis evolves and how the body compensates for the acid
Which two hormones exerts opposite effects?
Insulin and glucagon. Insulin stores simple sugars in the form of a polymer (glycogen) in the liver and glucagon breaks down glycogen in the liver forming glucose and releases it back into the bloodstream. ChaCha!
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 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 does insulin convert glucose to in the muscles?
Insulin is secreted from the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas in order to convert glucose into glycogen for use by our muscles. This process actually takes place in the liver, not the muscles.
What carbohydrate is stored in the liver?
Glycogen in form of glucose.
What is excess glucose stored as?
glycogen
What effect does insulin have on sugar?
Insulin allows glucose(sugar) to enter the body's cells. Insulin also stimulates the liver to convert glucose to glycogen and store it for later use. The end effect is blood sugar is decreased.
