Hello Yugal,

The answer to your question is Glycogen.

The body breaks down most carbohydrates from the foods we eat and converts them to a type of sugar called glucose. Glucose is the main source of fuel for our cells. When the body doesn't need to use the glucose for energy, it stores it in the liver and muscles as Glycogen.

Hope this helps.
