The hormones epinephrine and glucagon control glycogen phosphorylase which is an enzyme that breaks down glycogen into glucose.
The Insulin helps in this process ...

Name one hormone and state its function?
* Insulin - released by pancreas - encourages liver and muscle cells to absorb glucose from the blood; stimulates the conversion of glucose ----> glycogen in liver/muscle cells.
What stimulates the liver to break down glycogen into glucose?
Glucagon is a hormone produced by the pancreas that stimulates the liver to break down glycogen into glucose. By doing so, the endocrine system increases the blood sugar level.
What stimulates conversion of glycogen to glucose?
Glycogen is usually broken down in the cell. This will happen when the cell needs energy and ATP is broken down to form glucose.
What hormone stimulates glycogenesis?
The hormone that stimulates glycogenesis is Insulin, in response to high levels of glucose in the blood. Glycogenesis is the process in which excess glucose molecules are added to glycogen chains so that they can be stored ready for use at a later date.
What hormone is responsible for stimulating the breakdrown of glycogen and its release as glucose?
The hormone glucagon converts stored glycogen into glucose, which can be transported in the bloodstream.
What is an insilin?
A polypeptide hormone secreted by the islets of Langerhans and functioning in the regulation of the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, especially the conversion of glucose to glycogen, which lowers the blood glucose level.
Is growth hormone glucose sparing?
No, growth hormone is not glucose sparing. Growth hormone stimulates the breakdown of stored glycogen (a form of glucose) in the liver, leading to an increase in blood glucose levels. This increase in blood glucose helps to provide energy for growth and other metabolic processes.
Which hormone stimulates the breakdown of polymerized glucose?
glucagon
What pancreatic hormone stimulates elevated blood glucose levels?
The hormone Insulin regulates the body's glucose levels.
How might your body senses when to convert glucose to glycogen and glycogen back to glucose?
Your body seeks to convert glucose to glycogen and glycogen to glucose based on hormonal signals that are secreted in response to an event. i.e. if you ate tons of sugary food, your body will secrete a hormone called insulin from the beta cells of the pancreas, so that glucose in the blood will be able to be stored as glycogen in the muscle cells.
What does the glucagon do as a hormone and where is it produced?
Glucagon converts glucose into glycogen,it is produced from liver
How do the human body is glucose stored?
Glucose is stored in the body as glycogen. It is stored in the liver and in muscle tissue until it is needed, then the hormone glucagon - 'turns-the-sugar-on'- and releases the glycogen as glucose into the bloodstream.
