The 19 pages that link to Glycogen, each with the reason it gives.

• InsulinRelated: Insulin promotes glucose storage in this readily mobilized form.

• GlucoseRelated: It is the principal compact storage form of glucose in animals.

• StarchCompared with: Both store glucose, but glycogen is generally more highly branched and serves different organisms.

• CarbohydrateBroader topic: It is the principal carbohydrate reserve in animal tissues.

• Adipose tissueCompared with: It provides a faster, water-associated energy reserve than adipose triglycerides.

• GlucagonBroader topic: Liver glycogen supplies much of the glucose released during an early fasting response.

• MarathonRelated: Limited glycogen stores contribute to the fatigue known as hitting the wall.

• PolysaccharideBroader topic: Its dense branching enables rapid glucose mobilization in animal tissues.

• GlycogenolysisNarrower topic: Its α-1,4 chains and α-1,6 branches are the substrate being dismantled.

• Weight lossRelated: Glycogen and its associated water can change quickly, producing early scale-weight shifts.

• AmylopectinCompared with: Its branches are generally more frequent than amylopectin’s, enabling rapid glucose mobilization.

• AmylaseCompared with: It resembles branched starch, but serves as a major animal storage substrate.

• GlycogenesisNarrower topic: Glycogenesis builds this storage polymer from glucose units.

• Claude BernardRelated: Bernard’s discovery of liver glycogen challenged the idea that the liver only transformed dietary sugar.

• Glycogen storage diseaseNarrower topic: Its storage and release are disrupted in these disorders.

• Gerty CoriRelated: Her studies traced how stored glycogen is broken down and rebuilt.

• Alternate-day fastingRelated: Fasting depletes liver glycogen, changing the body's short-term fuel supply.

• Glycogen storage disease type VNarrower topic: Muscle glycogen is present but cannot be effectively broken down in this disorder.

• Glycogen storage disease type IIRelated: This stored carbohydrate accumulates when lysosomal degradation is impaired.
