B
Athletes use these methods to increase their body stores of energy in the form of glycogen. Gly-cogen is the form of carbohydrate stored in the liver and muscles. Glucose and amino acids are not stored in the body. Also, the primary function of amino acids is tissue building, not energy production. Short-chain fatty acids are produced when bacteria ferment dietary fiber in the colon. They are only used as an energy source by epithelial cells in the colon.
