Glucose in the blood is converted to glycogen due to the actions of insulin. Glycogen is insoluble, so it doesn't affect the osmotic balance in the cytoplasm of our muscle and liver cells.


Glycogen is stored in the liver and it is released into the blood stream if the flood glucose level drops, if at fasting or after many hours of food intake.

When blood glucose level rises the pancreas secretes insulin and as a result blood glucose level declines when blood glucose level is low the pancreas secretes glycogen and as a result blood glucose?

When blood glucose levels rise, the pancreas secretes insulin, which helps cells take up glucose from the blood, lowering blood glucose levels. When blood glucose levels are low, the pancreas secretes glucagon, which stimulates the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream, raising blood glucose levels back to normal.


What signals the liver to store or release glucose?

Glucagon is a hormone created by the pancreas that signals the liver to release glucose when the blood sugar level is dangerously low by converting glycogen (glucose converted for long term "storage") into glucose in the process known as glycogenolysis. Insulin is the hormone created by the pancreas that tells the liver to convert excess glucose into glycogen when the blood sugar level is high in the process known as glycogenesis.
