Answer:

In skeletal muscles with low glycogen, glucose will be stored as muscles glycogen.

Skeletal muscles are unable to release glucose because muscles lack glucose 6 phosphatase. Also, muscles glycogen is mainly a local energy substrate for exercise, rather than an energy source to maintain glucose concentration during fasting.
