Glycogenolysis is the process of converting the food storage carbohydrate polymer glycogen into glucose for the body to use as energy. Glycogen is a polysaccharide â a long sugar chain â of glucose molecules with side branches. It is a way for animal cells to store excess carbohydrates until needed.
Glucose-6-phosphate is the first step of the glycolysis pathway if glycogen is the carbohydrate source and further energy is needed. If energy is not immediately needed, the glucose-6-phosphate is converted to glucose for distribution in the blood to various cells such as brain cells. Click for larger image. Glycogenolysis: In glycogenolysis, glycogen stored in the liver and muscles, is converted first to glucose-1- phosphate and then into glucose-6-phosphate. Two hormones which control glycogenolysis are a peptide, glucagon from the pancreas and epinephrine from the adrenal glands.
