In this video, we look at the role of the liver in detoxification and carbohydrate metabolism. First we look at detoxification, including how the liver detoxifies hydrogen peroxide using catalase, and alcohol using alcohol dehydrogenase. We then explore the role of the liver in carbohydrate metabolism, looking at glycogen as a store of glucose.
