The distribution in liver cell fractions of UDPG-glycogen transferase has been studied. In fasting animals which have been refed 6 hours before sacrifice, the distribution of the enzyme in the various cell fractions can be correlated with the glycogen content of each fraction. A purified glycogen fraction has been prepared by differential centrifugation in sucrose gradients. This glycogen fract...

The question as to whether or not the liver is able to form glycogen from lactic acid is of importance for the relation between the carbohydrate metabolism of the muscles and that of the liver. It is known that the process glycogen * lactic acid occurs in the muscles, while the process glycogen e glucose occurs in the liver. Glucose derived from liver glycogen is convertible into muscle glycoge...

oral supplementation with potassium bromide (10, 20 and 40 ?g/ml) to fifth instar larvae of csr2, csr4 and csr2xcsr4 crossbreed races of the silkworm, bombyx mori resulted in a significant increase in the fat body glycogen in all the treated groups and in all the three races of the silkworm, b. mori. the fat body protein content was increased with 20 and 40 ?g/ml treated groups in csr2 and csr4...

Insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and incorporation of glucose into skeletal muscle glycogen contribute to physiological regulation of blood glucose concentration. In the present study, glucose handling and insulin signaling in isolated rat muscles with low glycogen (LG, 24-h fasting) and high glycogen (HG, refed for 24 h) content were compared with muscles with normal glycogen (NG, rats kept o...

the present study is related to the histochemical investigations on the changes in the intensity of reactions of axons, acid and neutral mucopolysaccharides, biologically active macromolecules, particularly glycogen and protein component as well as alkaline phosphatase (alpase) and adenosine triphosphatase (atpase) in the cells lining the olfactory epithelium of catla catla . the intense reacti...

Chronic ethanol consumption has been shown to significantly decrease hepatic glycogen content; however, the mechanisms responsible for this adverse metabolic effect are unknown. In this study, we examined the impact chronic ethanol consumption has on time-of-day-dependent oscillations (rhythms) in glycogen metabolism processes in the liver. For this, male C57BL/6J mice were fed either a control...

BACKGROUND Ischemic stroke is the combinatorial effect of many pathological processes including the loss of energy supplies, excessive intracellular calcium accumulation, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses. The brain's ability to maintain energy demand through this process involves metabolism of glycogen, which is critical for release of stored glucose. However, regulation of glycogen...
