This prompts your pancreas to release <u>glucagon</u> to stimulate breakdown of glycogen in the liver into glucose.

<h3>WHAT IS THE ROLE OF GLUCAGON?</h3>

Glucagon is responsible for breaking down glycogen and releasing glucose, when the body is hypoglycemic, between meals, to maintain the glucose level and provide energy to the cells. This is what we call glycogenolysis.

With this information, we can conclude that starvation causes your pancreas to release glucagon to stimulate the breakdown of glycogen in the liver into glucose.

<span>Ab Roller Evolution is made of metal. It supports neck, head and upper body during workout. It is an upper body trainer: works chest and core. You can do push ups, sit ups, dips. By providing improved support, it reduces stress and strain on body.</span>

<span />Description above is from Amazon.

It is a good idea but has some problems with its design. There is no way to secure it on the floor during exercise. So it moves around when pushed against and would not provide support. A normal crunch will likely work out better.
