Muscles play a crucial role in glucose - level regulation. Glycogen is a storage form of glucose. When muscles absorb, store, and use glycogen (which is made from glucose), they effectively manage the amount of glucose in the bloodstream. For example, after a meal, when blood glucose levels rise, insulin signals muscles (along with the liver) to take up glucose and convert it into glycogen for storage. During exercise or when blood glucose levels are low, glycogen in muscles can be broken down (through glycogenolysis) and used as an energy source, which also affects the overall glucose balance in the body.
