Question
Chapter 21, Problem 46P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reciprocal regulation of glycogen catabolism and anabolism in the liver should be described and why such reciprocal regulation is required for proper glucose homeostasis should be explained.
Concept introduction:
Glycogen catabolism and anabolism do not occur at the same time. The cells have a mechanism to regulate the glycogen synthesis and break down reciprocally.
