Glycogen, which serves as a major energy reserve in cells, is a large, branched polymer of glucose molecules. We describe a patient who had muscle weakness, associated with the depletion of glycoge ...

Liver parenchymal cells cultured in serum-free medium may retain their ability to synthesize glycogen in response to insulin. Specific hormone requirements are needed by hepatocytes to retain the ...

Glycogen phosphorylase was purified from the phasic adductor muscle of the bay scallop, Argopecten irradians concentricus. Phosphorylase a was active in the absence of adenosine monophosphate (AMP), ...

However, when glycogen levels dropped, so did tumour growth. The researchers concluded: "The typical Western diet increases glycogen levels and glycogen feeds lung cancer tumours by providing ...
