Relating to the storage or fixation of glucose in the body as glycogen, an older term for glucose-storing processes.
From 'glyco-' (sugar) + Greek 'pexis' (fixation). A variant spelling of 'glykopectic,' representing early 20th-century terminology in clinical medicine.
Both 'glykopectic' and 'glykopexic' are basically obsolete medical terms, replaced by modern biochemistry vocabulary—but they remind us that doctors once thought of the liver as primarily a sugar-'sticking' organ.
