The hormones epinephrine and glucagon control glycogen phosphorylase which is an enzyme that breaks down glycogen into glucose.
The Insulin helps in this process ...
Insulin
Glucagon
This hormone is called 'Glucagon'.
Insulin, secreated by the pancreas. Glucagon is the hormone that converts glycogen back into glucose, also from the pancreas.

Insulin
Glucagon or epinephrine signals the body to breakdown glycogen, among many things.
Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide that serves as a form of energy storage in animals and fungi.
Glycogen is the hormone. It is secreted by pancrease
Glycogen is converted to glucose by Glucagon.It is secreted by pancrease.
Glycogen is the hormone. It is secreted by liver
aldesterone
* Insulin - released by pancreas - encourages liver and muscle cells to absorb glucose from the blood; stimulates the conversion of glucose ----> glycogen in liver/muscle cells.
Glucagon is a hormone produced by the pancreas that stimulates the liver to break down glycogen into glucose. By doing so, the endocrine system increases the blood sugar level.
Glycogen is usually broken down in the cell. This will happen when the cell needs energy and ATP is broken down to form glucose.
The hormone that stimulates glycogenesis is Insulin, in response to high levels of glucose in the blood. Glycogenesis is the process in which excess glucose molecules are added to glycogen chains so that they can be stored ready for use at a later date.
The hormone glucagon converts stored glycogen into glucose, which can be transported in the bloodstream.
A polypeptide hormone secreted by the islets of Langerhans and functioning in the regulation of the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats, especially the conversion of glucose to glycogen, which lowers the blood glucose level.
No, growth hormone is not glucose sparing. Growth hormone stimulates the breakdown of stored glycogen (a form of glucose) in the liver, leading to an increase in blood glucose levels. This increase in blood glucose helps to provide energy for growth and other metabolic processes.
glucagon
The hormone Insulin regulates the body's glucose levels.
Your body seeks to convert glucose to glycogen and glycogen to glucose based on hormonal signals that are secreted in response to an event. i.e. if you ate tons of sugary food, your body will secrete a hormone called insulin from the beta cells of the pancreas, so that glucose in the blood will be able to be stored as glycogen in the muscle cells.
Glucagon converts glucose into glycogen,it is produced from liver
Glucose is stored in the body as glycogen. It is stored in the liver and in muscle tissue until it is needed, then the hormone glucagon - 'turns-the-sugar-on'- and releases the glycogen as glucose into the bloodstream.
