Carbohydrates-Simple sugars are sent to the liver where they are converted to glucose. The glucose then travels to the blood or is converted to glycogen and fat (triglyceride). The glycogen and fat will be stored in the liver and adipose tissue, respectively, as reserves for the post-absorptive state.
This enzyme is activated by phosphorylation from ATP by glycogen phosphorylase kinase, activated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase or by Ca 2 + via calmodulin, or inhibited by hydrolysis of the phosphate by glycogen phosphorylase phosphatase.glycogen synthase. an enzyme in the glycogenesis process.lycogen. a polysaccharide, the chief carbohydrate storage material in animals. It is formed and stored in the liver and muscles (phosphorylytically cleaved to glucose-1-phosphate). Called also animal starch. glycogen granules. electron-dense accumulation of glycogen molecules.
