Insulin also stimulates the conversion of glucose to glycogen in liver and muscle cells,
for storage.
Glucagon stimulates the liver to break down glycogen to glucose.
Glucagon also promotes lipid breakdown, which releases fatty acids that can be
metabolized for energy.
The adipose cells use the breakdown of glucose to form fats.
Insulin stimulates the uptake of glucose by liver, muscle and adipose cells, for
respiration.
