Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Excess glucose is converted to glycogen by insulin.
Detailed explanation-2: -Specifically, glucagon promotes hepatic conversion of glycogen to glucose (glycogenolysis), stimulates de novo glucose synthesis (gluconeogenesis), and inhibits glucose breakdown (glycolysis) and glycogen formation (glycogenesis) (Fig. 5) (26).
Detailed explanation-3: -After you’ve eaten, the concentration of glucose in your blood rises. When it goes too high the pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream. This insulin stimulates the liver to convert the blood glucose into glycogen for storage.
