GLYCOGEN
Gly"co*gen, n. Etym: [Gr. -gen: cf. F. glycogène.] (Physiol. Chem.)
Definition: A white, amorphous, tasteless substance resembling starch,
soluble in water to an opalescent fluid. It is found abundantly in
the liver of most animals, and in small quantity in other organs and
tissues, particularly in the embryo. It is quickly changed into sugar
when boiled with dilute sulphuric or hydrochloric acid, and also by
the action of amylolytic ferments.
