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.
The role of insulin and glucagon in glucose metabolism. Insulin and glucagon work synergistically to keep blood glucose concentrations normal. Insulin: An elevated blood glucose concentration results in the secretion of insulin: glucose is transported into body cells.The uptake of glucose by liver, kidney and brain cells is by diffusion and does not require insulin.Click on the thumbnail for details of the effect of insulin:nsulin: An elevated blood glucose concentration results in the secretion of insulin: glucose is transported into body cells.
