Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glycogen is formed in the liver during the absorptive state, also known as the fed state. During this time, glucose levels in the blood are high, and insulin promotes the storage of excess glucose as glycogen in the liver and muscles. In the postabsorptive state (fasted state), glycogen is broken down to release glucose into the bloodstream to maintain blood glucose levels. Starvation period and metabolic rate are not directly related to glycogen formation.
