When blood glucose levels drop below normal, a condition called hypoglycemia, hormones (glucagon, cortisol, epinephrine) signal the breakdown of _glycogen_, which releases glucose from the liver (where most glycogen is stored) into the bloodstream.

Answer from: Randomtrashygirl

When the level of glucose drops below the normal level there occurs the breakdown of glycogen so as to provide glucose molecule to the body as it acts as the immediate source of energy.

Further Explanation:

Glycogen is the stored form of carbohydrate in the body of living organisms. When the level of glucose in the blood drops down then this stored glycogen is broken down to release glucose in the blood which acts as an immediate source of energy.

Glycogen and Insulin hormone act as the main signals that determine the level of glucose in the bloodstream. Glucagon enhances the level of glucose in the blood while insulin decreases the level of glucose in the blood insulin induces the cells to take of glucose thereby decrease the amount of glucose in the blood. A high level of glucose may cause diabetes.

mientras se trata la anorexia o la bulimia, es importante buscar ayuda antes que nada. un profesional de la salud mental será el más útil para aquellos que sufren anorexia o bulimia. este es un buen lugar para comenzar, sin embargo, ver a otros profesionales como dietistas registrados, especialistas médicos y dentistas podría ayudar a alguien a recuperarse de un trastorno alimentario. después de la ayuda profesional, o si la ayuda profesional no es una opción, alguien que se recupere de la anorexia o la bulimia debe rodearse de compañeros de apoyo, padres u otros miembros de la familia que también estén comprometidos con el proceso de recuperación.
