The function of glycogen degradation is to export glucose to other tissues when blood glucose levels are low.
Glycogen is stored in the liver and the skeletal muscles
Glycogen is stored in liver
yes! the liver has many glycogen granuels
I believe its glycogen found in liver and muscles which is made of glucose to give us energy
Liver glycogen has low glycogenin content as compared to muscle glycogen.. liver glycogen responds to glucagon but muscle glycogen responds to catecholamines.. liver glycogen is used for the maintenance of blood glucose levels, but muscle glycogen is used for the supply of energy to the muscles liver glycogen can be completely broken down to glucose because of the presence of glucose 6 phosphatase, which does not occur in the muscles
In the body the major storage sites for glycogen are the muscles and the liver. Glycogen is found in low concentration areas of the body.
No, insulin stimulates the liver to produce glycogen from glucose. Glucagon mobilizes liver glycogen to yield glucose.
how Diabetic Ketoacidosis evolves and how the body compensates for the acid
Glycogen is stored primarily in the cells of the liver
No. Insulin converts glucose into glycogen for storage in the body. Glucagon converts glycogen into glucose. (it's the various cells in the body that do the conversion in either case, insulin and glucagon are hormones that induce the shift in the metabolism.)
The heart's function is to pump the blood to the rest of the body. The function of kidney is to filter the blood to get rid of waste materials to be disposed of in urine. The function of liver is to store carbohydrates in the form of glycogen and detoxify toxins.
Glycogen is stored in a liver or muscle cell.
