Glycogenolysis is a glycogen degradation process that takes place in the muscles and liver. In this process, the glycogen, the storage form of carbohydrate, is broken down into glucose-6-phosphate and glucose. This glucose-6-phosphate is utilized by the muscle cells to perform glycolysis, essential to produce energy for muscle contraction. The formed glucose is released into the bloodstream, maintaining blood glucose levels during fasting and providing immediate energy. The key enzyme of glycogenolysis is glycogen phosphorylase.
