I believe you're referring to the hormone glucagon produced by the alpha cells in the pancreas which causes the liver to break down glycogen. There are no nutrients stored in the liver, the liver stores bile as well as lipase, neither of which are considered "nutrients"

Would ADH have an effect on liver cells?
ADH stands for alcohol dehydrogenase. The ADH in the liver cells breaks alcohol down into acetaldehyde, and then another enzyme, aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH), rapidly breaks down acetaldehyde into acetate.
Why does liver break down H2O2 faster than potato?
It breaks down the potato faster because the liver contains more of an enzyme called catalase in it than the potato.
Does liver contain an enzyme which breaks down H2o2?
H2O2 (Hydrogen Peroxide) is broken down by Catalase [an enzyme of the Peroxidase family], produced by every living animal cell. So yes.
When a cell needs energy's does it breaks down the chemical glycogen?
Glycogen is made and stored in the cells of the liver and muscles until it is needed for energy. Glycogen phosphorylase is the primary enzyme of glycogen breakdown into glucose. Glucose derived from liver glycogen is the primary source of blood glucose used by the rest of the body for fuel.
What nutrient does the liver digest?
The liver digests nothing.
Why was liver used as a source of this enzyme?
liver is an organic compound that contains HIGH levels of catalase (enzyme)
What enzyme is in the liver?
livicine
What is the liver enzyme?
livicine
What liver enzyme metabolizes medications?
CYP2D6. This enzyme metabolizes some drugs, convert them to a form that can be removed from the body. Genes determine the level of this enzyme in the liver.
What are normal liver enzyme levels for a rabbit?
The normal liver enzyme levels for a rabbit should be 40 percent. Cyanide exposure improves the rabbit's enzyme level.
