    however free fatty acids (FFA) are high in concentration (Frayn‚ 2003). Glucose is the main source of energy for the brain and so the body turns to its glycogen stores as the body can rapidly hydrolyse them to form glucose in the process called hepatic glucogenolysis (Potthoff‚ 2009). The liver has the ability to convert glycogen to glucose which can then be transported to the brain more readily than skeletal muscles‚ where glycogen is also stored. The liver contains around 120g of glycogen which
