Biology
1 answer:

5 0

Answer:

The liver plays a major role in blood glucose homeostasis by maintaining a balance between the uptake and storage of glucose via glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. The liver is the primary organ for glucose metabolism.

Glycogenolysis: Glycogenolysis is the biochemical pathway in which glycogen breaks down into glucose-1-phosphate and glycogen.  

Gluconeogenesis: Gluconeogenesis is the synthesis of glucose from non-sugar precursors, such as lactate, pyruvate, and the carbon skeleton of glucogenic amino acids.
