Glycogen

Glycogen is considered the primary storage form of glucose and is found mainly in the liver and muscles, with the kidneys and intestines adding minor storage sites.  Muscle stores of glycogen are about twice as much as that of the liver with 10% of the livers total weight made up of glycogen.

The body obtains glucose either directly from the diet or from amino acids and lactate via gluconeogenesis.  Glucose either remains soluble in the blood stream or is converted to glycogen and stored or converted to fat and stored.
