A. Glycogen metabolism traps glucose within liver cells and increases storage of glucose in the form of glycogen. These processes decrease blood glucose levels. B. Glycogen metabolism traps glucose within liver cells and increases storage of glucose in the form of glycogen. These processes increase blood glucose levels. C. Glycogen metabolism releases glucose within liver cells and increases storage of glucose in the form of glycogen.
Glucagon is a peptide hormone, produced by alpha cells of the pancreas, that raises the concentration of glucose in the bloodstream.Its effect is opposite that of insulin, which lowers the glucose concentration.The pancreas releases glucagon when the concentration of glucose in the bloodstream falls too low.Glucagon causes the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose, which is released into the bloodstream. High blood glucose levels stimulate the release of insulin.Insulin allows glucose to be taken up and used by insulin-dependent tissues.he pancreas releases glucagon when the concentration of glucose in the bloodstream falls too low. Glucagon causes the liver to convert stored glycogen into glucose, which is released into the bloodstream. High blood glucose levels stimulate the release of insulin.
