Yes, glycogen synthesis is associated with the "fight or flight" reaction. During stressful situations, the body releases adrenaline, which activates signaling pathways that promote glycogen synthesis in the liver and muscles to provide energy for immediate use in response to the perceived threat.
Glycogen synthesis is the process by which glucose molecules are linked together to form glycogen, a branched polymer used to store glucose in cells. This process is catalyzed by the enzyme glycogen synthase and requires the presence of a primer called glycogenin. Glycogen synthesis occurs in response to high levels of glucose in the blood to store excess glucose for future energy needs.
After strenuous training, glycogen synthesis is enhanced due to an increase in insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake by muscles. This enables the replenishment of glycogen stores to support future exercise performance and recovery. Regular training also results in adaptations that improve glycogen storage capacity in muscles.
Simple sugars, such as glucose, are polymerized to form starch and glycogen through a process called glycogenesis. This process involves the addition of glucose molecules to an existing chain through the formation of glycosidic bonds, with the help of enzymes such as glycogen synthase. Starch is mainly found in plants, while glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals and humans.
Dietary fats and proteins cannot be directly converted into glycogen and stored in the body. Carbohydrates are the primary source for glycogen synthesis.
In the cytosol
Glycolysis.
Insulin promotes the storage of glucose as glycogen in the liver and muscles by stimulating glycogen synthesis. When blood glucose levels are high, insulin is released from the pancreas to signal cells to take up glucose and convert it into glycogen for storage.
It requires primer to start de novo synthesis. Glycogen synthase require 4 glucose already present in the chain.

Protein Synthesis takes place in the ribosomes and in the mitochondria of a cell.
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. Hope this helps!!
