Alpha cells in the pancreas detect low blood sugar and secrete glucagon. Glucagon travels to the liver to stimulate breakdown of glycogen reserves (glycogenolysis) and stimulate gluconeogenesis (production of new glucose).

What is the end product of glycogenolysis in skeletal muscle?

Eventually, the end product of glycogenolysis in skeletal muscle will be ATP in order to produce energy for muscle activity. Unlike the glycogenolysis in the liver, the produced glucose from glycogenolysis in the skeletal muscle is not released in the blood stream, because it will directly go to the glycolysis pathway to be consumed to generate pyruvate. Pyruvate will be converted to acetyl-coA to be used in citric acid cycle for production of ATP.
