Can Glycogen Storage Be Modified to Mitigate Toxic Effects?
Modifying glycogen storage can potentially mitigate the toxic effects of certain substances. Nutritional interventions, such as a diet rich in complex carbohydrates, can enhance glycogen reserves, providing a buffer against toxic-induced hypoglycemia. Additionally, pharmacological approaches aimed at supporting liver function and enhancing glycogen synthesis may offer protective effects in individuals exposed to hepatotoxic agents. Research in this area continues to explore novel strategies for enhancing glycogen storage as a means of reducing toxicological risks.
