Summary Introduction

To review:

The conditions during which glycogenesis and glycogenolysis are carried out.

Introduction:

Glycogenesis and glycogenolysis refer to the anabolic and catabolic pathways associated with glycogen, respectively. The process of glycogenesis converts excessive glucose molecules into glycogen polymers and stores them for future use. Glycogenolysis catabolizes the glycogen polymer and converts it into monomeric glucose molecules.
