Glycogen_Boxplots Fasting (IMAGE)
Caption
Researchers compared mice that were fed, fasted, and then re‑fed. The graph shows liver levels of glycogen and ubiquinated glycogen over time.
The graph’s top panel shows total glycogen levels, the middle panel shows glycogen tagged with ubiquitin, and the bottom panel shows how much of the glycogen is tagged overall.
During fasting, overall glycogen decreases, while ubiquitin‑tagged glycogen increases – suggesting ubiquitin helps break down stored sugar when energy is needed.
