Glycogen metabolism and glycogen storage disorders. [PDF]
Glucose is the main energy fuel for the human brain. Maintenance of glucose homeostasis is therefore, crucial to meet cellular energy demands in both - normal physiological states and during stress or increased demands.

Lafora disease offers a unique window into neuronal glycogen metabolism [PDF]
Lafora disease (LD) is a fatal, autosomal recessive, glycogen-storage disorder that manifests as severe epilepsy. LD results from mutations in the gene encoding either the glycogen phosphatase laforin or the E3 ubiquitin ligase malin. Individuals with LD

Glycogen metabolism in humans☆☆☆
In the human body, glycogen is a branched polymer of glucose stored mainly in the liver and the skeletal muscle that supplies glucose to the blood stream during fasting periods and to the muscle cells during muscle contraction. Glycogen has been identified in other tissues such as brain, heart, kidney, adipose tissue, and erythrocytes, but glycogen ...

Ketotic hypoglycemia in patients with Down syndrome
Background Ketotic hypoglycemia (KH) without an identifiable underlying metabolic or hormonal disease is historically named idiopathic KH. The prevalence is unknown, but idiopathic KH is considered the most frequent cause of hypoglycemia beyond the ...

Glycogen Metabolism in Glycogen-rich Erythrocytes [PDF]
Abstract High concentrations of red blood cell glycogen were visualized by electron microscopy and demonstrated biochemically in amylo-1,6-glucosidase- and phosphorylase-deficient red blood cells. Glycogen concentration decreased as a function of cell age.
