English - English
A polysaccharide that is the main form of carbohydrate storage in animals; converted to glucose as needed
What it's good for: As the storage form of glucose, it's used by the body for energy when needed It's stored in the liver and muscle Where you get it: Carbohydrates Natural sugars (fruit, vegetables, milk) and complex carbohydrates (grains, cereals, pasta) are the best choices DRI or RDA: None
The storage form of glucose found in the liver and muscles
A polysaccharide, (C6H10O5)n, that is the main form of carbohydrate storage in animals and occurs primarily in the liver and muscle tissue
Polysaccharide of glucose
Principal storage carbohydrate of animals, occurring primarily in the liver and resting muscles. It is also found in various bacteria, fungi, and yeasts. Glycogen is a branched polysaccharide, a long chain of glucose units, into which it is broken down when energy is needed
It is found abundantly in the liver of most animals, and in small quantity in other organs and tissues, particularly in the embryo
– converted glucose for storage Glycogen plays a role in controlling blood sugar levels
one form in which body fuel is stored; stored primarily in the liver and broken down into glucose when needed by the body
The form carbohydrates take when stored in the muscles
{i} starch-like substance present in animal tissues which may be converted into dextrose
Stored form of carbohydrate in the liver and muscles Glycogen is the chief source of stored fuel in the body
It is quickly changed into sugar when boiled with dilute sulphuric or hydrochloric acid, and also by the action of amylolytic ferments
Glycogen is the pricinple storage form of glucose and is mainly found in the liver and muscles
An extensively branched glucose storage polysaccharide found in the liver and muscle of animals; the animal equivalent of starch
the body's chief storage carbohydrate, primarily in the liver
form of glucose that is stored in the muscles and liver for later use
is a branched polymer of D glucose and represents the major short term storage of glucose of animal cells and is particularly abundant in the liver and to a lesser extent in muscle
A type of stored energy in the muscles and the liver which is derived from carbohydrates
a polysaccharide made up of repeated glucose units Animals make glycogen and store it in liver and muscles
the form of glucose found in the liver and muscles
A form of carbohydrate produced and stored in the liver and the muscles and converted to glucose as the body needs it
Form in which foods are stored in the body as energy
complex neutral polysaccharide, the storage carbohydrate of animals
a polymer of glucose that is built like amulopectin except that it is larger and even more branched Branching occurs at every 10th to 18th glucose molecule
A substance made up of sugars It is stored in the liver and muscles and releases glucose (sugar) into the blood when needed by cells Glycogen is the chief source of stored fuel in the body
the form of glucose that is stored in the liver and muscles and used for energy
Glycogen is a large, complex carbohydrate molecule produced from glucose in the liver and muscles when blood sugar levels are high Glycogen is broken down into lactic acid when it is used as an energy source in the liver or muscles
A white, amorphous, tasteless substance resembling starch, soluble in water to an opalescent fluid
The principle form of carbohydrate energy (glucose) stored within the bodies muscles and liver
a term for many units of glucose strung together stored in the liver and muscles It is the fuel that powers such anerobic training as weight lifting

glycogen storage disease
or glycogenosis Any of numerous types of hereditary enzyme deficiency resulting in altered metabolism of glycogen. The problems are classified in two groups, those affecting the liver and those involving striated muscle, both primary glycogen storage sites. Symptoms in the liver group range from symptomatic hypoglycemia with ketosis to asymptomatic liver enlargement (hepatomegaly). In the muscle group, they range from weakness and cramps to fatal heart enlargement
