Glycogenolysis

It is a biochemical pathway for the breakdown of glycogen to glucose , it takes place in the muscle cells and in liver tissues .

glycogenolysis have a very important role in the regulation of glucose level in the blood .

The red blood cells lacks in the mitochondria and will oxidize the glucose under both the fasted conditions .
