A male patient was admitted to hospital because his extremities were cyanotic (blue in colour) and he had some convulsions. His blood sugar levels indicated that he was hypoglycemic. The doctors initially gave him glucose intravenously as well as adding it to his diet, but his blood sugar level did not stabilize. However, when the doctors introduced glucagon, the blood sugar levels stabilized. The patient was diagnosed as having a deficiency in glucagon. Select the item below that describes an effect of this condition. Select one: a. The liver breaks down glycogen to glucose, increasing the blood glucose concentration. b. The liver cannot break down glycogen to glucose, so the blood glucose remains low. c. The adipose tissue breaks down fat to form glycogen, keeping blood glucose low. d. The muscle cells cannot store glycogen, so the blood glucose remains high.
