The chemical reactions and pathways involving polysaccharides, polymers of more than 10 monosaccharide residues joined by glycosidic linkages, as carried out by individual cells. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of glycogen, a polydisperse, highly branched glucan composed of chains of D-glucose residues. The chemical reactions and pathways involving glycogen, a polydisperse, highly branched glucan composed of chains of D-glucose residues in alpha(1->4) glycosidic linkage, joined together by alpha(1->6) glycosidic linkages. The chemical reactions and pathways involving a hexose, any monosaccharide with a chain of six carbon atoms in the molecule. The chemical reactions and pathways involving glucans, polysaccharides consisting only of glucose residues. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving glycogen. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving glycogen. Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the chemical reactions and pathways involving glycogen. The chemical reactions and pathways by which a cell derives energy from stored compounds such as fats or glycogen. The chemical reactions and pathways involving glucose, the aldohexose gluco-hexose. D-glucose is dextrorotatory and is sometimes known as dextrose; it is an important source of energy for living organisms and is found free as well as combined in homo- and hetero-oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. The chemical reactions and pathways by which a cell derives energy from organic compounds; results in the oxidation of the compounds from which energy is released. The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of glycogen, a polydisperse, highly branched glucan composed of chains of D-glucose residues. The chemical reactions and pathways involving glucans, polysaccharides consisting only of glucose residues.
