After the expedition, Odell was privately certain that Mallory and Irvine had reached the summit of Mount Everest. Key to this belief was the spot where he had seen the two climbers, and his evaluation of their fitness and strength.
Carbohydrate is stored in limited amounts as blood glucose, liverglycogen, and muscle glycogen. The largest amount of energy isstored in the body as fats. Fats are stored as triglycerides in bothmuscle tissue and adipose (fat) tissue; triglycerides and free fattyacids (FFA) in the blood are a limited supply.
Glycogen accumulation in liver and skeletal muscle is the principal way of storing ingested carbohydrate. The liver normally contains â¼100 g (energy value 400 kcal) and skeletal muscle â¼400 g (1600 kcal) of glycogen. It is also stored in the brain. The body's upper limit for glycogen storage is â¼1050 g.
