(gly-koh-jen) [Gk. glykys, sweet + genos, race or descent] An extensively branched glucose storage polysaccharide found in the liver and muscle of animals; the animal equivalent of starch.

The principal storage form of glucose found primarily in the liver and the muscles.

starch-like substance found in the liver and animal tissue, 1860, from French glycogène, "sugar-producer," from Greek-derived glyco- "sweet" (see glyco-) + French -gène (see -gen). [..]

One of the forms in which the body stores fuel. It is stored mainly in the liver and is converted into glucose when the body requires it.

(gli´kuo-jen) A polysaccharide of glucose-also called animal starch-produced primarily in the liver and skeletal muscles. Similar to plant starch in composition, glycogen contains more highly branched chains of glucose subunits than does plant starch. glycogenesis

the name given to a polysaccharide that is formed and stored in the liver and other tissues from glucose. Primary source of chemical energy. Easily broken down into glucose molecules.

Glycogen is medically described as a multi-branched polysaccharide of glucose that is stored in the body as a secondary source long-term storage of energy. This energy potential is primarily stored in [..]

The form in which carbohydrate is stored in the body, mainly in the muscles and the liver, sometimes known as "animal starch".

The major complex carbohydrate in animal cells made of glucose. Glycogen is for animals what starch is for plants. Although glycogen is an important long term storage of energy in muscle and liver cells, it is of little nutritional significance, because most glycogen in muscle spontaneously degrades during slaughtering. Thus meats, except liver, ha [..]

A complex carbohydrate made by the combining of glucose molecules for a short-term store of energy.

A polymer of glucose residues in 1,4 linkage, with 1,6 linkages at branchpoints.

A branched polymer of glucose that acts as a long-term energy store for animal cells.

Polysaccharide of glucose found in the muscle and liver of living animals.

(GLY-koh-jen) the form of glucose found in the liver and muscles.

(n) one form in which body fuel is stored; stored primarily in the liver and broken down into glucose when needed by the body

The body's fuel reserves. This substance, stored primarily in the liver and muscles, is later converted into glucose to provide cells with energy.

Most carbohydrates are broken down in the body to a type of sugar called glucose, which is the main source of fuel for our cells. When the body has extra glucose, it stores it in the liver and muscles [..]

Glycogen is the main energy storage carbohydrate in the body.

 a fuel derived as glucose (sugar) from carbohydrate and stored in the muscles and liver. It’s the primary energy source for high-intensity cycling. Reserves are normally depleted after about two-and-a-half hours of riding.

A very long, branched polysaccharide, composed exclusively of glucose units, that is the primary storage carbohydrate in animal cells. It is found primarily in liver and muscle cells.

(polysaccharide) stored in the liver and muscles and easily converted to glucose as a source of energy:

Illustrated Glossary of Organic Chemistry Glycogen: The main structure for glucose storage in animal and fungi. Consists of a protein core surrounded in three-dimensions by glucose polysaccharide chai [..]

a large polymer (repeating units) of glucose molecules, used to store energy in cells, especially muscle and liver cells.

Glycogen stored in the liver. (Dorland, 28th ed)

A form of glucose stored in the liver and muscles, which is converted back into glucose when needed.

A white, amorphous, tasteless carbohydrate, related to starch and dextrin. One of the constituents of the yeast cell.

The form in which glucose is stored in the liver.

The form of glucose found stored in the liver and muscles.

The main form of carbohydrates stored in the liver and muscles, used as fuel during exercise. Glycogen can be stored as energy unlike water, where the body expects us to provide a continuous supply.

 Glucose stored in your muscles. Used during glycolosis to create ATP/energy.

A complex carbohydrate that occurs only in animals; the form in which glucose is stored in the body.

(carbohydrate) A polysaccharide that is the main form of carbohydrate storage in animals; converted to glucose as needed.

The form in which carbohydrate is stored in the liver. It is often known as animal starch.
