increases glycogenolysis and decreases glycogenesis in liver.

A

glucagon

32
Q

causes breakdown of glycogen in skeletal muscle to maintain fuel supply for muscle contraction

A

causes inactivation of enzymes of glycogenolysis and activation of glycogen forming enzymes. As a result, glycogenesis occurs in liver and muscle.

A

Insulin

34
Q

A 70 kg individual may have lipid store of about
