Lactose and glycogen

[Behemoth]

What type of glycogen does lactose primarily replenish?

[bradley]

Lactose will be broken down into glucose and galactose, and the galactose will preferentially refill liver glycogen.

[Behemoth]

And glucose primarily refill what? Muscle?

How much gets broken down into galactose and how much glucose?

And glucose primarily refill what? Muscle?

Glucose can refill both muscle and liver glycogen.



How much gets broken down into galactose and how much glucose?

I am not sure on the exact percentage, but I would imagine 50/50, as is the case with most disaccharides.

Glucose will primarily pass through the liver and be used to refill muscle glycogen.
