Glucagon is produced by the alpha cells in the islets, and is released by the pancreas when blood glucose is low. It stimulates the breakdown of stored glycogen to glucose, which is then released into the bloodstream. ------------------------------------------------------ To sum up the above answer, Glucose is converted to Glycogen by the hormone Glucagon.
highly branched arrangement of glucose molecules. alpha 1,4 glycosidic bond (linear portions), as well as (alpha) 1,6 glycosidic bonds (branch points) Glycogen: The body stores small amounts of glucose in the form of glycogen. Many tissues store small amounts, but majority is found in the liver and skeletal muscles. Highly branched arrangement of glucose molecules--branch points in glycogen provide an advantage b/c enzymes can hydrolyze multiple glycosidic bonds simultaneously. Therefore, glycogen can be broken down quickly when energy is needed.
