Not to be confused with Gluconeogenesis or Glycogenolysis. Glycogenesis is the process of glycogen synthesis, in which glucose molecules are added to chains of glycogen for storage. This process is activated during rest periods following the Cori cycle, in the liver, and also activated by insulin in response to high glucose levels, for example after a carbohydrate-containing meal.
Vitamin B-12. Eat roasted seaweed to get more vitamin B-12 in your diet. A 1/3-cup portion of this sea vegetable contains 21 percent of the amount of the vitamin B-12, also called cobalamin, you require each day. Vitamin B-12 helps form red blood cells, DNA, RNA and boosts immune function.
Seaweed is high in minerals absorbed from seawater. One third of a cup of dulse contains 19 percent of the iron you need daily and wakame can provide 20 percent of your daily manganese needs. Dulse is also a source of potassium, and all seaweeds provide magnesium, iron and zinc among other minerals. Kelp is a good source of calcium, offering 17 percent of daily needs in one cup. Be cautious with the amount of seaweed you add to your diet, as it has sometimes been found to contain heavy metals.
