Glycogen synthesis, glycogenesis, is one of the most important anabolic pathways. Insulin drives the synthesis of glycogen from glucose. Glycogen is stored in the liver which is then turned back to glucose by glucagon during excercises and fasting.

Glycogen to glucose?

Glycogen is a storage of energy within the body, and glucose is the primary form of energy. So for example, if your body requires glucose to survive, when it has plentiful amounts. Your body converts glucose into glycogen for storage. However, if your body has low amount of glucose within it. Your body will rely on the storage of glycogen to break down into its components and use the glucose for fuel.
