Glucose Oxidase Assay Kit

Glucose Oxidase Assay Kit

Glycogen is a high-molecular polysaccharide composed of glucose units and one of the main storage forms of carbohydrates. It is mainly stored in the liver and muscles as reserve energy, known as liver glycogen and muscle glycogen respectively. Liver glycogen can regulate blood glucose concentration: when blood glucose increases, glycogen is synthesized in the liver; when blood glucose decreases, liver glycogen decomposes into glucose to supplement blood glucose. Therefore, liver glycogen is crucial for maintaining the relative balance of blood glucose. Muscle glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in muscles. When a large amount of blood glucose is consumed during strenuous exercise, muscle glycogen cannot be directly decomposed into blood glucose—it must first decompose to produce lactic acid, which is transported to the liver via the blood circulation and converted into liver glycogen or glucose through gluconeogenesis.

The anthrone method involves extracting glycogen using a strongly alkaline extraction solution, then determining the glycogen content with an anthrone chromogenic reagent under strongly acidic conditions.
