Description
Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in animals, fungi, and bacteria. It is the main storage form of glucose in the human body. The structure of glycogen allows for efficient storage and release of glucose. When blood glucose levels are high, the body converts excess glucose into glycogen and stores it in the liver and muscles for later use. During periods of low blood glucose, such as fasting or intense exercise, glycogen is broken down into glucose to maintain appropriate blood sugar levels and provide energy. As Glycogen plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and blood sugar regulation, its imbalance or dysfunction has also been linked to certain metabolic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and liver diseases.Glycogen is an analogue of starch, a glucose polymer that functions as energy storage in plants. It has a structure similar to amylopectin (a component of starch), but is more extensively branched and compact than starch. Both are white powders in their dry state. Glycogen is found in the form of granules in the cytosol/cytoplasm in many cell types, and plays an important role in the glucose cycle. Glycogen forms an energy reserve that can be quickly mobilized to meet a sudden need for glucose, but one that is less compact than the energy reserves of triglycerides (lipids). As such it is also found as storage reserve in many parasitic protozoa.
