Question

is cortisol use in liver synthesis of glycogen
GPT 3.5
No, cortisol does not play a direct role in the liver synthesis of glycogen. Glycogen synthesis is primarily regulated by the hormone insulin, which promotes the storage of glucose as glycogen in the liver and muscles. Cortisol, on the other hand, is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress. It has several functions in the body, including regulation of metabolism, immune response, and response to stress. However, cortisol can indirectly affect glycogen metabolism by promoting the breakdown of glycogen into glucose through a process called glycogenolysis.
