total absence of glycogen in the liver may be rare but rather an abnormally low levels of glycogen is more common. This could be as a result of an impairment in any of the enzymes involved in glycogen synthesis. Now, when glycogen is low,the body will look for another source of energy. The next immediate source is fatty acid . Hence low glycogen levels will lead rapid breakdown of fatty acids which when it becomes continuous can cause weight loss.. but the brain poorly utilizes fatty acids for energy production... hence a continous depletion of glycogen levels may result in some neurological impairments..

What is the main carbohydrate reserve in animals?
Liver and muscles store carbohydrate .
Glycogen is stored in the liver and?
Glycogen is stored in the liver and the skeletal muscles
What type of carbohydrate is stored in the liver?
Glycogen is stored in liver
Does a liver cell have glycogen granule?
yes! the liver has many glycogen granuels
What is a polysaccharide that stores energy in your muscles and liver?
I believe its glycogen found in liver and muscles which is made of glucose to give us energy
What is the difference between liver glycogen and muscle glycogen?
Liver glycogen has low glycogenin content as compared to muscle glycogen.. liver glycogen responds to glucagon but muscle glycogen responds to catecholamines.. liver glycogen is used for the maintenance of blood glucose levels, but muscle glycogen is used for the supply of energy to the muscles liver glycogen can be completely broken down to glucose because of the presence of glucose 6 phosphatase, which does not occur in the muscles
The major storage sites for glycogen in the body are?
In the body the major storage sites for glycogen are the muscles and the liver. Glycogen is found in low concentration areas of the body.
Does insulin mobilize liver glycogen to yield glucose?
No, insulin stimulates the liver to produce glycogen from glucose. Glucagon mobilizes liver glycogen to yield glucose.
Glucose is stored in the liver as?
how Diabetic Ketoacidosis evolves and how the body compensates for the acid
Where is glycogen located in animals?
Glycogen is stored primarily in the cells of the liver
Where does the body stores glycogen?
The glycogen is stored in the Liver
