    Glossary Glycogen

    complex carbohydrate storing energy in liver and muscles

    Glycogen is a complex carbohydrate that serves as a primary form of energy storage in animals and humans. It is mainly stored in the liver and muscle tissues, where it can be quickly broken down into glucose to meet the body's energy needs, especially during physical activity or between meals.
