What's the difference between glycogen and storage?

Glycogen


Definition:

  • (n.) A white, amorphous, tasteless substance resembling starch, soluble in water to an opalescent fluid. It is found abundantly in the liver of most animals, and in small quantity in other organs and tissues, particularly in the embryo. It is quickly changed into sugar when boiled with dilute sulphuric or hydrochloric acid, and also by the action of amylolytic ferments.

Example Sentences:

  • (16) An abrupt decrease of the liver glycogen was found as well as a negligible rise of the blood sugar.
  • (17) Glycogen content of the rabbit vastus lateralis muscle was also significantly depleted after exhaustive, intermittent exercise.

  • (19) Rats that were subjected to restraint stress for 18 h were found to have reduced myocardial glycogen and blood sugar levels and showed histological changes in heart and adrenals.
  • (20) To understand the complex control relationships of these three signals as they affect the liver, their individual dynamic influences have been determined experimentally, and the findings have been integrated by means of a computer simulation of the pathways of hepatic glycogen metabolism.

Storage


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of depositing in a store or warehouse for safe keeping; also, the safe keeping of goods in a warehouse.
  • (n.) Space for the safe keeping of goods.
  • (n.) The price changed for keeping goods in a store.
