Liver
The hormone glucagon converts stored glycogen into glucose, which can be transported in the bloodstream.

Glucagon is a hormone that signals the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream, raising blood sugar levels.
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.
Glucagon is a hormone that helps to raise blood glucose levels by stimulating the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream. This process is known as glycogenolysis, where glycogen stored in the liver is broken down into glucose to increase blood sugar levels.

Glucagon. This hormone produced in the pancreatic islets works to raise blood glucose levels, preventing hypoglycemia. Insulin does the opposite.
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.
Glycolysis is the process that all organisms release energy stored in the bonds of glucose.
Growth hormone increases blood glucose levels by promoting the breakdown of glycogen stored in the liver into glucose, a process known as glycogenolysis, as well as by reducing the uptake of glucose in muscle and adipose tissue. Additionally, growth hormone can stimulate the liver to produce more glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis.
