What effect would an increase in glucose typically have on the activity of glycogen synthase? Why? When would it not have this effect?
Added by Emma S.
Step 1
This is because when glucose levels rise, insulin levels also increase. Insulin promotes the dephosphorylation and activation of glycogen synthase by inhibiting glycogen synthase kinase. As a result, glycogen synthase becomes more active in converting glucose into Show more…
