Insulin
It is generally accepted that epinephrine promotes the breakdown of muscle glycogen to lactic acid and that this lactic acid is largely reconverted to glycogen by the liver.
Glycogenolysis, breakdown of glycogen, produces glucose-6-phosphate, which in liver is further converted to glucose-1-phosphate that can leave the hepatocytes to the blood. This doesn't happen in muscle cells, so the glucose-6-phosphate is used in glycolysis instead during muscle contraction to produce ATP for myosin.
Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in the muscle cell. Glycogen can be used for energy.
Muscle Glycogen is basically the storage of carbohydrates in the body. Muscle glycogen is what fuels the body and is a necessity for a proper workout.
Glycogen is stored in a liver or muscle cell.
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
Yes, glycogen is primarily stored in muscle tissue and the liver. In muscle tissue, glycogen serves as a quick energy source during physical activity, while in the liver, glycogen helps maintain normal blood sugar levels.

Epinephrine binds to its receptor on the cell membrane, activating the G protein coupled receptor. This leads to activation of adenylyl cyclase, which produces cyclic AMP (cAMP). cAMP activates protein kinase A, which phosphorylates target proteins to carry out the cellular response, such as glycogen breakdown in muscle cells.
no, lactic acid does
No, glycogen is stored by the liver and skeletal muscle
Carbohydrates are mainly stored as glycogen.
