Answer: Liver

Glucose is the most important fuel source for the body, specifically the brain. It is absorbed through the mucosal lining into the epithelial cells of the intestine by active transport via sodium-dependent hexose transporter. From the epithelial cells, glucose is moved into the surrounding capillaries by facilitated diffusion into the liver. Once in the liver, glucose is stored as glycogen.
