_____ disease is also known as glycogen storage disease type II

Insulin decreases blood glucose concentration by promoting synthesis and storage of _____ in the muscle and liver, while simultaneously inhibiting glycogenolysis

When insulin acts on liver tissue, it causes _____ glycogenesis and decreased glycogenolysis

_____ disease is also known as glycogen storage disease type IV

_____ disease occurs due to a defect in the enzyme muscle phosphofructokinase.

Glucose-6-phosphate is converted to _____ via the enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase

_____ results in the formation of -(1,6) bonds between glucose molecules

_____ liberates glucose-1-phosphate residues off branched glycogen until 4 glucose units remain on a branch

_____ is ultimately converted to ribulose-5-phosphate via the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
