On the kinetic and allosteric regulatory properties of the ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase from Rhodococcus jostii: An approach to evaluate glycogen metabolism in oleaginous bacteria [PDF]

, 2016
Rhodococcus spp. are oleaginous bacteria that accumulate glycogen during exponential growth. Despite the importance of these microorganisms in biotechnology, little is known about the regulation of carbon and energy storage, mainly the relationship ...

Effects of pre-exercise carbohydrate consumption on metabolism during exercise [PDF]

, 2016
It is well documented that consuming carbohydrates (CHO) prior to exercise has been shown to alter metabolism. There are many ways that CHO ingestion affects substrate utilization and blood glucose dynamics at the start of exercise.
