Glycogen yana da ƙwayar carbohydrate wanda ya ƙunshi kwayoyin glucose da aka haɗa ta sarkar.
Kira na glycogen (glycogenesis) yana faruwa a cikin sa'o'i 1-2 bayan cin abinci na abinci na carbohydrate. Mafi girma kira na glycogen faruwa a cikin hanta. Bugu da ƙari, glycogen an hada shi a cikin tsokoki mai ƙumshi.
Ɗaya daga cikin kwayoyin glycogen ya hada da kimanin sharan glucose miliyan daya. Wannan hujja ta nuna cewa jiki yana amfani da makamashi mai yawa akan samar da glycogen.
Labaran glycogen
Da bazuwar glycogen (glycogenolysis) yana faruwa a lokacin lokaci tsakanin abinci. A wannan lokaci, hanta yana yaduwa da glycogen a cikin wani nau'i, wanda ya ba da damar jiki ya ci gaba da maida glucose a cikin jini a matakin da ba a canza ba.
Matsayin ilmin halitta na glycogen
Glucose shine babban kayan makamashi don jiki, yana tallafawa ayyuka na asali. Hanta yana adana glucose a matsayin glycogen, ba don bukatunta ba, don samar da glucose zuwa wasu nau'ikan takalma - yafi da jini da kwakwalwa.
Kamar yadda aka ambata a sama, kwayoyin tsoka, kamar hanta Kwayoyin, suna iya canza glucose a cikin glycogen. Duk da haka, glycogen, wanda yake ƙunshe a cikin tsokoki, an ciyar ne kawai akan aikin ƙwayar tsoka. A wasu kalmomin, glycogen a cikin tsokoki ya kasance tushen glucose kawai don tantanin halitta kanta, yayin da glycogen da aka ajiye a cikin hanta, bayan aiki a cikin glucose, an kashe shi akan abincin jiki na dukan kwayoyin halitta, kuma mafi mahimmanci akan riƙe da glucose mai kyau a cikin jini.
Kifi da kuma bazuwar glycogen
Yin kira da maye gurbin glycogen an tsara su ta hanyar tsarin juyayi da kuma hormones. Waɗannan su ne matakai masu zaman kansu guda biyu da ke faruwa a hanyoyi daban-daban. Kamar yadda muka rigaya gani, babban aikin glycogen shi ne tsari na ƙaddamar da glucose a cikin jini, da kuma halittar wannan glucose, wanda ya wajaba don aikin ƙwayar murƙushe.
