Glycogen [noun]

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.

Horseflesh is rich in glycogen, and this fact enables its presence in sausage meat to be detected with some amount of certainty.

There is a limit to the ability of the liver to change sugar into glycogen.

He also found that in the Cladocera the period of active growth is accompanied by glycogen—as opposed to fat—metabolism.

The protoplasm remaining over is termed epiplasm and often contains glycogen (fig. 8).

This compound readily splits off glycogen, which then gives the iodine reaction.
