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).
Glucagon stimulates the liver to release some of its stored glycogen into the blood to maintain blood sugar levels. Glycogen stored in the muscle tissue serves an important role as well. Our muscles main function is to move bones. This allows us to do all the locomotive tasks associated with daily living. What better place to store energy then within the tissues that require this energy to move us around?
