and gluconeogenesis (the production of glucose from other sources).

Muscle glycogen appears to function as a reserve of quickly available phosphorylated glucose, in the form of glucose-1-phosphate, for muscle cells. Glycogen contained within skeletal muscle cells are primarily in the form of ? particles. Other cells that contain small amounts use it locally as well. As muscle cells lack glucose-6-phosphatase,
