Trivia. 1  In the book, Oh told Tip to call him J. Lo, thinking it was a common name. Tip constantly refered to him by name, with everyone assuming she meant the actress. 2  Despite being a protagonist, he bares a slight resemblance to Gallaxhar, as both are aliens who have stretchy arms as well as squid-like feet.
Glycogenolysis, process by which glycogen, the primary carbohydrate stored in the liver and muscle cells of animals, is broken down into glucose to provide immediate energy and to maintain blood glucose levels during fasting. Glycogenolysis occurs primarily in the liver and is stimulated by the hormones glucagon and epinephrine (adrenaline).
In the normal healthy functioning individual, glycogen will automatically be released by the muscle and liver tissues as a response to low blood glucose levels. However, in insulin dependant diabetic patients, they often lose this ability to regulate blood glucose levels.
