Explanation

Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals. After glucose is converted to glycogen in the liver, it is stored in both the liver (about 100-120g) and skeletal muscles (about 300-400g in an adult). Liver glycogen maintains blood glucose levels, while muscle glycogen provides energy for muscle contraction during exercise. Spleen does not store glycogen.
