In humans, glycogen is stored and produced by the hepatocytes in the liver. The main function of glycogen is as a secondary long-term energy-storage molecule. The primary energy-storage molecules are adipose cells. Glycogen is also stored in muscle cells. Muscle glycogen is converted into glucose by the muscle cells whenever muscles are overworked and tired.
Glycogen accumulation in liver and skeletal muscle is the principal way of storing ingested carbohydrate. The liver normally contains â¼100 g (energy value 400 kcal) and skeletal muscle â¼400 g (1600 kcal) of glycogen. It is also stored in the brain. The body's upper limit for glycogen storage is â¼1050 g.
