Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Insulin stimulates the storage of glucose into glycogen in liver and muscle cells as a short-term reservoir. Glucagon, on the other hand, stimulates the breakdown of glycogen to glucose in response to low blood glucose levels. Glycine, fatty acids, and glycerol are not directly involved in glycogen storage or breakdown.
