This statement is not accurate. When a person consumes less food than is required, the body will first utilize its glycogen stores for energy. If glycogen stores are depleted, the body will then start to break down muscle tissue to convert amino acids into glucose for energy, not protein.

What is required for glycogen deposition in the liver?

Glycogen deposition in the liver requires adequate glucose availability, which is primarily derived from dietary carbohydrates and gluconeogenesis. Insulin plays a crucial role in this process by promoting glucose uptake into liver cells and stimulating glycogen synthase, the enzyme responsible for converting glucose to glycogen. Additionally, the presence of adequate energy substrates, such as ATP, is necessary for the synthesis of glycogen.


What is glucogenolysis?

I think you have your terms confused, the term glucogenolysis is, I believe, a mix-up of the term glycogenolysis, which is the breakdown of stored glycogen into glucose. Gluconeogenesis is the formation of new glucose from amino acids from protein breakdown and glycerin from fat breakdown. Glucogenolysis does not occur as glucose is not required to split. Instead, when the blood glucose level is too high, Glycogenesis occurs in which glucose is converted to the storage form glycogen.
