What is the reason for less glycogen storage?

summary

Liver glycogen is a substance that is polymerized by many glucose molecules. Glucose polymers are stored in the liver in the form of glycogen. When the body needs them, they can be decomposed into glucose and converted into energy. What's the reason for the lack of liver glycogen storage?

What is the reason for less glycogen storage?

Liver glycogen is stored in the liver. When the body needs it, it can be decomposed into glucose and converted into energy. Generally, the glycogen content in liver is about 100g. The production sources of liver glycogen are as follows: 1. The food is digested and absorbed into the blood by the intestine after meals. Glucose, fructose and lactose are imported into the liver, and 60% - 70% of them are converted into glycogen and stored. ② During fasting, gluconeogenesis increased, that is, protein was decomposed into amino acids, fat was decomposed into glycerol and transformed into glycogen in liver; Lactic acid produced by muscle contraction may also be converted into muscle glycogen through liver metabolism Liver glycogen is stored in the liver.

Liver glycogen is a substance that is polymerized by many glucose molecules. Glucose polymers are stored in the liver in the form of glycogen. When the body needs them, they can be decomposed into glucose and converted into energy. Normal diet can continuously supplement liver glycogen to reduce the effect of gluconeogenesis. At the same time, protein in the body can be well preserved. The synthesis and degradation of liver glycogen are controlled by hormones (insulin and glucagon). Under normal circumstances, higher animals have the ability to synthesize and degrade liver glycogen. When the hormone control is out of balance, it will lead to diabetes.

matters needing attention

Liver sugar can be extracted with hot water and trichloroacetic acid solution, 30% calcium hydroxide solution, and then precipitated with ethanol. Liver sugar is white amorphous powder. Specific rotation + 196.5 (water). Soluble in water, insoluble in ethanol and other organic solvents. Molecular weight is in the range of millions to millions. It turns purple with iodine, decomposes into maltose and glucose with acid and yeast.
