Major sites of storage are the liver and skeletal muscles. Glycogen is the main source of energy during fasting or in between meals. Glycogen provides energy for up to 18 hours, after which energy requirements are met by fatty acid oxidation. The 2 metabolic pathways of glycogen are glycogenesis (glycogen synthesis) and glycogenolysis (glycogen breakdown). The key regulatory • enzymes in these processes are glycogen synthase (in glycogenesis) and glycogen phosphorylase (in glycogenolysis). These pathways proceed depending on the energy needs of the cells, generally modulated by hormonal and allosteric regulators. Abnormal accumulation of glycogen occurs with enzyme deficiencies causing different types of glycogen storage disorders. • • #glycogen #mbbs #biochemistry #medicalstudents #chemistry #glycogenmetabolism
