Glycogen is the primary storage form of carbohydrate in humans and animals. It is a highly branched polysaccharide composed of glucose units, stored mainly in the liver and skeletal muscles. Liver glycogen helps maintain blood glucose levels between meals, ensuring a steady supply of energy to the brain and other vital organs. Muscle glycogen provides immediate energy for muscle contraction during physical activity. However, glycogen stores are limited—typically enough for less than a day's energy needs—unlike fat stores, which can sustain energy for weeks. This limited storage capacity highlights the importance of regular carbohydrate intake to replenish glycogen and support continuous metabolic and physical functions.
