Glycogen, Mussel is a glycolytic intermediate and high-energy phosphate that serves as a form of energy storage in humans, animals, fungi, and bacteria. It is a branched polymer of glucose stored mainly in the liver and skeletal muscle in the human body that supplies glucose to the bloodstream during fasting periods and to muscle cells during muscle contraction.
