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.
1 When your body senses that you have extra glucose, it converts the glucose to glycogen by a process called glycogenesis. 2  The glycogen is stored in muscle and liver tissue. 3  As your blood glucose levels begin to run low, your body converts the glycogen back to glucose by a process called glycolysis.nsulin and glucagon are hormones made by the pancreas. 1  Insulin works to move glucose into the cells of the body for energy, remove excess glucose from the blood stream, and convert the excess glucose to glycogen. 2  Glycogen is stored in muscle and liver tissue for later use, when more glucose is needed in the blood.
