The process of fixing or binding glucose and glycogen in body tissues, particularly relating to storage and metabolic fixation.
From glyco- (Greek glykys 'sweet') + -pexis (Greek pegnynai 'to fix/fasten'). This is a variant medical term describing the same biological process as glycopexia.
Glycopexis and glycopexia are like two names for the same thing—scientists sometimes developed multiple terms before standardizing, leaving linguistic fossils in medical textbooks that remind us how medicine evolved.
