The evolutionary selection process for glycogen metabolism<span> reflects the requirements of rendering large amounts of glucose into an osmotically stable but readily soluble </span>substrate<span> for rapid mobilization. Therefore glycogen </span>serves<span> as a glucose reserve and </span>substrate<span> buffer for local </span>energy<span> demand.</span>
