Successful pregnancy in a woman with glycogen storage disease type 6
Glycogen storage disease type VI is caused by biallelic variants in the PYGL gene that result in hepatic glycogen phosphorylase deficiency. The disorder is clinically characterized by hepatomegaly and recurrent ketotic hypoglycemia from infancy. Although

Glycogen Metabolism and Its Role in Growth and Encystation in Entamoeba histolytica
Entamoeba histolytica is a parasitic protozoan that causes diarrheal disease in approximately 100 million people worldwide every year. E. histolytica has two forms, the growing trophozoite and the infectious cyst.

Molar mass and solution conformation of branched alpha(1 - 4), alpha(1 - 6) Glucans. Part I: Glycogens in water [PDF]
Solution molar masses and conformations of glycogens from different sources (rabbit, oyster, mussel and bovine) were analysed using sedimentation velocity in the analytical ultracentrifuge, size-exclusion chromatography coupled to multi-angle laser light

Computationally motivated synthesis and enzyme kinetic evaluation of N-(β-d-glucopyranosyl)-1,2,4-triazolecarboxamides as glycogen phosphorylase inhibitors [PDF]
Following our recent study of N-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-oxadiazole-carboxamides (Polyák et al., Biorg. Med. Chem. 2013, 21, 5738) revealed as moderate inhibitors of glycogen phosphorylase (GP), in silico docking calculations using Glide have been performed ...

A PTG variant contributes to a milder phenotype in Lafora disease.
Lafora disease is an autosomal recessive form of progressive myoclonus epilepsy with no effective therapy. Although the outcome is always unfavorable, onset of symptoms and progression of the disease may vary. We aimed to identify modifier genes that may

Huddling alleviates the decrease in glycogen and lipid content in the liver of Brandt’s vole caused by mild cold environment [PDF]
Low/cold ambient temperatures can induce hepatic damage in mammals, prompting the evolution of huddling as an adaptive strategy among small mammals to survive cold conditions in the wild.

Maximizing efficiency of rumen microbial protein production. [PDF]
Rumen microbes produce cellular protein inefficiently partly because they do not direct all ATP toward growth. They direct some ATP toward maintenance functions, as long-recognized, but they also direct ATP toward reserve carbohydrate synthesis and ...
