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.
Glycogen Structure. Glycogen is a polymer of glucose (up to 120,000 glucose residues) and is a primary carbohydrate storage form in animals. The polymer is composed of units of glucose linked alpha(1-4) with branches occurring alpha(1-6) approximately every 8-12 residues.he anabolic pathway contrasting with glycogen breakdown is that of glycogen synthesis. Just as cells reciprocally regulate glycolysis and gluconeogenesis to prevent a futile cycle, so too do cells use reciprocal schemes to regulate glycogen breakdown and synthesis.
