In the well fed state, major fate of glucose-6-phosphate in tissues is:
High-Yield Explanation
The uptake of glucose into the liver through GLUT 2 is independent of insulin.
In the well fed state, the concentration of glucose entering the liver increases, so does the rate of synthesis of glucose-6-phosphate.
This is in excess of the liver’s requirement forenergy-yielding metabolism. So, it is used mainly for synthesis of glycogen.
In both liver and skeletal muscle, insulin acts to stimulate glycogen synthase and inhibit glycogen phosphorylase.
