Their disappearance during starvation, when they are drawn upon to supply power and heat for the body, shows that they serve as a true reserve food material. They are a kind of food capital or hoard, saved and laid up by the body against a rainy day. NUTRITION 225 11. The hoarding of inactive food material. II. The storage of glycogen. In many cells of the body, but especially in those of the liver and to a less extent in those of the skeletal muscles, there is found a carbohydrate substance kn...own as glycogen. This substance belongs to the same group of car- bohydrates as starch and dextrines (see Chap. VIII), and is sometimes called animal starch. Like them it is changed into sugar by the action of saliva and pancreatic juice, whence its name (7X1^5, "sweet"; -yevrjs, "former"). The same change occurs on the death of the cells in which it is contained, the sugar thus formed giving to such tissues a sweetish taste. This is often noticed, for example, in liver and in scallops (the shell muscle of Pecteri).
