Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of insulin affects the rate and extent of muscle glycogen resynthesis. Insulin promotes glycogen synthesis by increasing the uptake of glucose in muscle cells and activating the enzymes involved in glycogen synthesis. Glucagon, sodium, and calcium do not have a significant effect on glycogen resynthesis.
