Glycogenesis is the process of glycogen synthesis, in which glucose molecules are added to chains of glycogen for storage. This process is activated during rest periods following the [[Cori cycle]], in the liver, and also activated by [[insulin]] in response to high glucose levels. | Glycogenesis is the process of glycogen synthesis, in which glucose molecules are added to chains of glycogen for storage.
