Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in animals and fungi. It is the primary storage form of glucose in the body, predominantly found in the liver and muscle tissues.
The metabolic process by which organisms produce sugars (namely glucose) from non-carbohydrate sources such as amino acids and glycerol.
The process of breaking down glucose into pyruvate, releasing energy and pyruvic acid, which is fundamental to cellular respiration.
A hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood sugar levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into tissues
