Regulation of Glycogen Phosphorylase In muscle tissue, the rate of conversion of glycogen to glucose 6 -phosphate is determined by the ratio of phosphorylase $a$ (active) to phosphorylase $b$ (less active). Determine what happens to the rate of glycogen breakdown if a muscle preparation containing glycogen phosphorylase is treated with (a) phosphorylase kinase and ATP; (b) PP1; (c) epinephrine.
