Glycogenolysis12
- Hepatic glycogen phosphorylase, the rate-limiting enzyme of glycogenolysis, or glycogen breakdown, is activated (active in its phosphorylated form) by a cascade of enzymes, including adenyl cyclase, phosphorylase b kinase, and cAMP-dependent protein kinase. (medscape.com)
- Define gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, and glycogenosis. (quizlet.com)
- Glycogenesis: It is the opposite of glycogenolysis and it reffers to combining glucose molecules into glycogen. (quizlet.com)
- What conditions promote glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, and gluconeogenesis? (quizlet.com)
- Define giycogenesis, glycogenolysis, and gluconeogenesis. (quizlet.com)
- Why does it make metabolic sense for the same hormone signal to stimulate glycogenolysis and inhibit glycolysis in the liver while stimulating both glycogenolysis and glycolysis in muscles? (quizlet.com)
- Indeed, maintenance of blood glucose levels during fasting/starvation and/or rigorous exercise is primarily achieved through the breakdown of liver glycogen stocks (glycogenolysis) and the conversion of non-sugar carbon substrates via gluconeogenesis ( Rui, 2014 ). (elifesciences.org)
- This results in glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, and a decreased uptake of glucose by the peripheral tissue. (ems1.com)
- Glycogenolysis may have a limited contribution to the hyperglycemic state since many of the patients are debilitated or suffer from an acute illness and have a poor diet as a result, causing the glycogen stores in the liver to deplete over time. (ems1.com)
- The liver, therefore, converts stored glycogen to glucose ( glycogenolysis ) or in an extreme situation, makes glucose from scratch (gluconeogenesis) and releases the glucose into the bloodstream to maintain normal basal glucose levels. (rxeconsult.com)
- For example, excess glucose (a cause of hyperglycemia) is converted in the liver to glycogen (glycogenolysis) in response to the hormone insulin , and stored. (annecollins.com)

Replenishing the glycogen stores1
- This includes replenishing the glycogen stores that we lost during our training session. (robbwolf.com)
Glucagon8
- Glucagon acts only on liver glycogen, converting it to glucose . (pediatriconcall.com)
- Glucagon increases the amount of glucose in the blood by breaking down stored glucose (starch, called glycogen) and releasing it from the liver into the bloodstream. (emedicinehealth.com)
- Insulin and glucagon are usually correctly balanced if the liver and pancreas are functioning normally. (emedicinehealth.com)
- Basically, we need glucose to function and in the absence of readily available glucose a hormone called glucagon begins to release it from the liver and muscle tissue as well as converting our stored fat for energy. (robbwolf.com)
- If blood glucose gets too low, the alpha cells in the pancreas are stimulated to produce the hormone glucagon which in turn tells the liver to release stored glucose (called glycogen) from the liver, which in turn raises blood glucose. (torqfitness.co.uk)
- If the liver is 'empty' and has no glycogen sored within it, glucagon can also stimulate a process called 'gluconeogenesis' whereby protein is broken down and converted into blood glucose. (torqfitness.co.uk)
