Glycogen metabolism is primarily through the actions of insulin and glucagon.

Insulin results in stimulation of glycogen synthesis when blood glucose levels are low

Step-by-step explanation:

Insulin acts by controlling the glucose conversion into glycogen when the blood sugar levels are low and thereby regulates the blood glucose levels

Glucagon triggers the muscle and liver to produce more glucose from glycogen to supply it to the body cells

Insulin and glucagon combine together through a negative feedback loop system where one event occurs as a result of triggering from a previous event
