Question

Name the hormone that regulates the storage of glucose as glycogen

Answer 1

Insulin is an anti glycemic hormone i.e. it decreases the blood glucose level. There are several ways by which it works to decrease blood glucose level. One of these is a conversation of glucose to glycogen, known as glycogenesis. Glycogenesis takes place when blood glucose levels are sufficiently high to allow excess glucose to be stored in liver and muscle cells.
