  • In skeletal muscle, glycogen is found in a low concentration (1-2% of the muscle mass): the skeletal muscle of an adult weighing 70 kg stores roughly 400 grams of glycogen. (wikipedia.org)
  • in fasting individuals, blood glucose is maintained constant at this level at the expense of glycogen stores in the liver and skeletal muscle. (wikipedia.org)
  • Little is known about the precise mechanism that relates skeletal muscle glycogen to muscle fatigue. (diva-portal.org)
