Examples

  • Anytime you eat a carb—whether that’s from fruit, bread, or potatoes—your body breaks it down into glucose and either uses it immediately for energy or stores it as glycogen.

  • Glycogen is also stored in the muscles, where it is oxidized to release energy when the muscles are exercised.

  • This blood is very rich in food materials, and from it the cells of the liver take out sugars to form glycogen.

  • These pass through the liver, where, as we have seen, sugar is taken from the blood and stored as glycogen.

  • Horse flesh is detected by testing for glycogen, which is present in it in larger quantities than in other meats.

  • There exists also in the liver and muscles a non-nitrogenous substance, glycogen, which is detected also in other organs.
