30 kwi 2024 · Glycogen, a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose, is the storage form of glucose in the human body, primarily found in the liver and skeletal muscle. Glycogen functions as the body's short-term storage of glucose, whereas triglycerides in adipose tissues serve as the long-term storage.
If the cell needs energy right away, it can metabolize glucose through cellular respiration, producing ATP (step 5). If the cell doesn’t need energy right away, glucose can be converted to other forms for storage. If it’s a liver or muscle cell, it can be converted to glycogen (step 4).
Ideally, any excess glucose is stored within the muscle and liver as glycogen and within the adipose tissue as triglycerides. Once glucose is absorbed into skeletal muscle cells or adipocytes it is trapped and must be used by that cell. Only the liver is capable of releasing glucose back into circulation.
Abstract. Glycogen is a branched, glucose polymer and the storage form of glucose in cells. Glycogen has traditionally been viewed as a key substrate for muscle ATP production during conditions of high energy demand and considered to be limiting for work capacity and force generation under defined conditions.
