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.
Glycogenolysis physically occurs in the muscle and liver tissues, which is where glycogen is stored and released as a result of hormonal or adrenergic responses in order to increase the blood glucose level during times of stress such as the fight of flight sympathetic response.
