To remember glycogenolysis, you can break down the word into “glycogen” (the stored form of glucose) and “lysis” (meaning breakdown). Associating the term with the idea that glycogenolysis is the process of breaking down glycogen to release glucose can be helpful. A mnemonic could be: “Glycogen Lysis: G for Glycogen, L for Lysis (breaking down).” This process is activated in situations where the body needs immediate glucose for energy, like during exercise or fasting.
