Functions of Liver1: Regulation of blood glucose level When the blood glucose concentration becomes excessive; liver converts the glucose into glycogen. Liver converts the glâ¦ycogen back to the glucose when energy is needed. 2: Metabolism Liver is responsible for the metabolism of proteins and fats.
