Glycogen is converted into triglycerides through a process called lipogenesis. When glucose levels are high, excess glucose is first converted into pyruvate via glycolysis, then into acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA serves as a building block for fatty acid synthesis, which combines with glycerol to form triglycerides. This process primarily occurs in the liver and adipose tissue when there is an excess of carbohydrates in the diet.
