Monosaccharides link together through glycosidic bonding, which is when an " OH" from the carbon on one monosaccharide bonds with an " H" from the carbon of another monosaccharide.

单糖之间通过糖苷，即一个单糖分子原子羟基与另一个单糖分子原子氢原子缩合。

Lactose on the other hand has a beta 1-4 glycosidic bond, meaning that carbon 1 of galactose and carbon 4 of glucose are bonded, but this time the molecules are stacked with one higher than the other.

乳糖中糖苷为β-1，4糖苷，即半乳糖分子1与葡萄糖分子4以糖苷相，β代表了两个糖分子下交叠，一高一低。

Insulin helps stimulate the liver to store glucose as glycogen in a process called glycogenesis - which is when some of the glucose molecules get linked together with alpha 1-4 and alpha 1-6 glycosidic bonds to form a polysaccharide called glycogen.

胰岛素还能促进肝细胞将葡萄糖转化为糖原，并贮存于肝脏，这个过程称为糖原生成，具体而言就是葡萄糖分子通过α-1，4糖苷、α-1，6糖苷结合成称为“糖原”多糖过程。
