,• Structure and function of Glycogen• Amounts of glycogen in liver and muscles• Fluctuations of Glycogen stores
Steps
• Synthesis of UDP-Glucose• Synthesis of primer to initiate synthesis• Elongations of Glycogen Chains
Regulation
• Allosteric regulation by glycogen synthase in well fed state
• Inhibition by c-AMP pathway
