HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -What happens when you have too much glycogen? Excess glycogen is stored in the liver where it may be used later for energy. Your muscles are also a storage area for glycogen. Excess glucose above this can be converted into triglycerides which are stored in your fat cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Triglyceride storage in adipose tissue comprises the principal energy reserve in mammals. Additionally glucose can be stored as glycogen in the fed state, primarily in liver and skeletal muscle, for mobilization during times of energy deficit. Adipose tissue also contains glycogen stores albeit at very low levels.

Detailed explanation-3: -Excess glucose is converted to glycogen by insulin. The process is called glycogenesis. Glycogenesis is the method of preserving excess glucose for subsequent use by the body. Glycogenolysis occurs when a person requires energy and prefers glucose as a source of energy.
