/ɡlaɪˈkɒdʒənaɪz/ verb

Definition

To convert glucose into glycogen, or to cause something to become glycogen through metabolic processes.

Etymology

Kelly Says

When you glycogenize glucose, you're essentially putting sugar on pause—the body takes thousands of tiny glucose molecules and links them together into a mega-molecule that won't float away in your bloodstream.
