The term Lucy comes from the song by the Beatles Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds which is commonly thought to be about LSD. Lucy is often used as a code word for LSD when referring to the drug in a public setting or over the phone where one does not want to openly discuss illegal activities. Lucy is used like a person's name in such discussions. Like saying Lucy took me on a trip last night to indicate you tripped on LSD the previous night. I tripped balls with Lucy last weekend!
The capacity of your body to store muscle and liver glycogen, however, is limited to approximately 1,800 to 2,000 calories worth of energy, or enough fuel for 90 to 120 minutes of continuous, vigorous activity.
Glycogen forms an energy reserve that can be quickly mobilized to meet a sudden need for glucose, but one that is less compact than the energy reserves of triglycerides (lipids). In the liver, glycogen can compose from 5 to 6% of its fresh weight (100â120 g in an adult).lycogen phosphorylase is the primary enzyme of glycogen breakdown. For the next 8â12 hours, glucose derived from liver glycogen is the primary source of blood glucose used by the rest of the body for fuel. Glucagon, another hormone produced by the pancreas, in many respects serves as a countersignal to insulin.
