The presence of glycogen in developing or mature epithelium does not establish a causal relationship. A similar relationship existed in respiratory epithelium.
Glycogen first appeared in the rat oral epithelium at 16 days of fetal development. This was shortly before the beginning of the greatest period of cell activity, which resulted in keratinization. Glycogen appears related to keratinization only in that energy requirements are greatest during this period of development and maturation.
