Background: Oral cytology studies have claimed that cytoplasmic Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS) positivity in type-2 diabetics is due to glycogen content. But, it can also be due to mucin and glycoconjugates. Aim: 1. To confirm that cytoplasmic PAS positivity

A whole-body multi-scale mathematical model for dynamic simulation of the metabolism in man [PDF]
We propose a whole-body model of the metabolism in man as well as a generalized approach for modeling metabolic networks. Using this approach, we are able to write a large metabolic network in a systematic and compact way. We demonstrate the approach using a whole-body model of the metabolism of the three macronutrients, carbohydrates, proteins and ...

Glycogen metabolism and glycogen storage disorders.
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.

Many metabolic consequences of the excess lipid storage observed in obesity have been documented in humans and mammals, but the effects of an obese phenotype on reproductive behavior are less understood.

The polymorphic fungus Candida albicans remains a leading cause of both invasive and superficial mycoses, including vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). Metabolic plasticity, including carbohydrate catabolism, confers fitness advantages at anatomical site ...

The dynamic life of the glycogen granule
Glycogen, the primary storage form of glucose, is a rapid and accessible form of energy that can be supplied to tissues on demand. Each glycogen granule, or “glycosome,” is considered an independent metabolic unit composed of a highly branched ...

The Role of Muscle in Insect Energy Homeostasis
Maintaining energy homeostasis is critical for ensuring proper growth and maximizing survival potential of all organisms. Here we review the role of somatic muscle in regulating energy homeostasis in insects.

Astrocytic glycogen metabolism in the healthy and diseased brain
The brain contains a fairly low amount of glycogen, mostly located in astrocytes, a fact that has prompted the suggestion that glycogen does not have a significant physiological role in the brain.

Effects of Handling Processes on the Quality and Biochemical Changes in Tissue of Mud Crab, (Scylla serrata, Forsskål, 1755) During Emersion Storage [PDF]
The effects of handling processes were investigated in the mud crab, Scylla serrata, using pre-cooling and chelae tying during emersion storage.Muscle glycogen, muscle lactate, muscle yield, muscle pH, volatile basic nitrogen (VBN), and chemical ...
