Definition of Glycogen:
A compound produced by the liver from glucose and stored in the liver and muscles. It acts as an energy source for muscles, and releases glucose from the liver to maintain blood sugar.

Cirrhosis of the Liver
...the condition
“...Inherited diseases including Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, galactosemia, and glycogen storage diseases interfere with the way the liver produces, processes, and stores enzymes, proteins, metals, and other substances the body needs to function properly...”
Complex Carbohydrate
...related topic
“Includes indigestible molecules of fiber (e.g. starch and glycogen). Slowly releases sugar into the bloodstream and also adds the fiber.”
Giardiasis Infection
...recommendation Berberine-containing Herbs
“...and berberine sulfate has been shown to induce morphological damage to trophozoites, including the appearance of irregularly-shaped vacuoles, swollen trophozoites, and the development of glycogen deposits. In a placebo-controlled clinical trial, 40 subjects received either a vitamin B-complex syrup (as a placebo), berberine hydrochloride (5 mg/kg/day), or metronidazole for six days...”

Hydroxycitric Acid
...as a treatment
“...This inhibition subsequently effects the rate of glycolysis (conversion of glucose into energy) and shifts it to the storage form of sugar (glycogen). When glycogen is produced and stored, the glucoreceptors in the liver induce the feeling of fullness...”
Increased Fruit/Vegetable Consumption
...as a treatment
“...Carbohydrates are the most efficient fuel for energy production and can also be stored as glycogen in muscle and liver, functioning as a readily available energy source for prolonged, strenuous exercise...”
Insulin Therapy
...as a treatment
“...After eating, when insulin levels are high, the liver accepts and stores extra sugar in the form of glycogen. Between meals, when insulin levels are low, the liver releases glycogen into the bloodstream in the form of sugar, keeping blood sugar levels within a narrow and normal range...”
