Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The liver stores glycogen as a way to maintain consistent blood glucose levels. When blood glucose levels fall, the liver can release glucose from its glycogen stores to restore blood glucose levels back to normal. Muscle glycogen can also be used to restore blood glucose levels, but it is primarily used to provide energy for muscle contractions during exercise. Glucose provided by the oxidation of fat and muscle protein are not typically used to restore blood glucose levels.
