How would the liver normally respond under condition of high glucose?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Under conditions of high glucose, the liver responds by phosphorylating glucose for entry into the glycogen synthesis pathways (to store excess glucose) as well as phosphorylating glucose for entry into the glycolytic pathway (to utilize excess glucose for energy production). Saturation of glucokinase (an enzyme involved in glucose phosphorylation) with glucose would not be a normal response to high glucose levels. Therefore, options A and C together provide the correct response.
