The dynamic life of the glycogen granule

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2018
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 ...

AAV-mediated transcription factor EB (TFEB) gene delivery ameliorates muscle pathology and function in the murine model of Pompe Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Pompe disease (PD) is a metabolic myopathy due to acid alpha-glucosidase deficiency and characterized by extensive glycogen storage and impaired autophagy.

Effect of high and low glycaemic index recovery diets on intramuscular lipid oxidation during aerobic exercise [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) and plasma NEFA are important skeletal muscle fuel sources. By raising blood insulin concentrations, carbohydrate ingestion inhibits lypolysis and reduces circulating NEFA.

The Vaginal Microenvironment: The Physiologic Role of Lactobacilli

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2018
In addition to being a passage for sperm, menstruum, and the baby, the human vagina and its microbiota can influence conception, pregnancy, the mode and timing of delivery, and the risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections.

Dynamics of training and acute exercise-induced shifts in muscular glucose transporter (GLUT) 4, 8, and 12 expression in locomotion versus posture muscles in healthy horses

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2023
Important changes in glucose transporter (GLUT) expression should be expected if the glucose influx plays a pivotal role in fuelling or connecting metabolic pathways that are upregulated in response to exercise.

Influence of post-mortem muscle glycogen content on the quality of beef during aging

open access: yesJournal of Veterinary Research, 2016
Introduction: Glycolic changes which occur post-mortem have an impact on the physical and sensory features of beef, which in turn determine the successive processes and influence such beef quality traits as colour, tenderness, and cooling loss.

Astrocytic glycogen metabolism in the healthy and diseased brain

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2018
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.

Glycogen autophagy

open access: yesMicroscopy Research and Technique, 2004
AbstractGlycogen autophagy, which includes the sequestration and degradation of cell glycogen in the autophagic vacuoles, is a selective process under conditions of demand for the massive hepatic production of glucose, as in the postnatal period. It represents a link between autophagy and glycogen metabolism. The formation of autophagic vacuoles in the

GLYCOGEN FRACTIONS AND THEIR ROLE IN THE HISTOCHEMICAL DETECTION OF GLYCOGEN [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 1960
Glycogen fractions have been investigated in guinea pig liver by the anthrone technique and histochemically by Gomori's hexamine silver method. It is concluded that it is only the trichloroacetic acid soluble fraction of tissue glycogen that is demonstrated by this histochemical technique.

Reduced glycogen availability is associated with increased AMPKα2 activity, nuclear AMPKα2 protein abundance, and GLUT4 mRNA expression in contracting human skeletal muscle

open access: yes, 2006
Glycogen availability can influence glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) expression in skeletal muscle through unknown mechanisms. The multisubstrate enzyme AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has also been shown to play an important role in the regulation of ...
