Glucose regulation of liver-glycogen metabolism. Glucose binds to and inhibits glycogen phosphorylase a in the liver, facilitating the formation of the T state of phosphorylase a. The T state of phosphorylase a does not bind protein phosphate 1 (PP1), leading to the dissociation and activation of PP1 from glycogen phosphorylase a. The free PP1 dephosphorylates glycogen phosphorylase a and glycogen synthase b, leading to the inactivation of glycogen breakdown and the activation of glycogen synthesis.
