Glucose anabolism reactions: Glycogenolysis and Gluconeogenesis

By: HWC, Views: 8113

• Glucose not needed immediately is stored as glycogen. The process that creates it is glycogenesis. • When ATP is needed for body activities, stored glycogen is broken down by a process called glycogenolysis. • Glucose can be formed through two different anabolic reactions: • Glycog...
