Effect of starvation and subsequent feeding on glycogen concentration, behavior and mortality in the golden mussel Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857) (Bivalvia: Mytilidae

Journal of Limnology, 2016
The success of Limnoperna fortunei as an invasive species is related to its physiological plasticity that allows them to endure adverse environmental conditions.

Liver Glycogen Synthase in Rats with a Glycogen‐Storage Disorder [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1980
1. A strain of rats with a genetically‐determined liver glycogen‐storage disorder (gsd/gsd) caused by a deficiency of liver phosphorylase kinase has a very high concentration of glycogen in the liver with a total glycogen synthase activity higher than in liver of fed normal animals, but only a small amount of the enzyme in the active form.

Physiological state of reused brewing yeast

Czech Journal of Food Sciences, 2013
In brewing, yeast may be reused many times. A number of yeast repitchings differs significantly among the breweries. Adjusting the number of times a strain may be serially repitched is of great importance for quality and consistency of final products ...

Experience with the Urinary Tetrasaccharide Metabolite for Pompe Disease in the Diagnostic Laboratory

Metabolites, 2021
Following clinical indications, the laboratory diagnosis of the inherited metabolic myopathy, Pompe disease (PD), typically begins with demonstrating a reduction in acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA), the enzyme required for lysosomal glycogen degradation ...

Short and long-term acceptability and efficacy of extended-release cornstarch in the hepatic glycogen storage diseases: results from the Glyde study

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Background Hypoglycaemia is the primary manifestation of all the hepatic types of glycogen storage disease (GSD). In 2008, Glycosade®, an extended-release waxy maize cornstarch, was reported as an alternative to uncooked cornstarch (UCCS) which could ...

Mixing unfamiliar lambs upon arrival at the abattoir affects their social behavior and meat traits

Frontiers in Animal Science
The aim of the study was to determine the effects of mixing unfamiliar lambs when they arrive at the abattoir 28-29 h before slaughtering on social behavior and meat quality. Forty Texel x Corriedale male lambs were transported together in the same truck
