The role of glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta in brain injury induced by myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in a rat model of diabetes mellitus

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2017
Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury can lead to severe brain injury. Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta is known to be involved in myo-cardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and diabetes mellitus. However, the precise role of glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta

Sevoflurane plays a reduced role in cognitive impairment compared with isoflurane: limited effect on fear memory retention

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2020
Isoflurane and sevoflurane are both inhalation anesthetics, but in clinical application, sevoflurane has been considered to be less suitable for long-term anesthesia because of its catabolic compounds and potential nephrotoxicity.

Mechanism of glycogen synthase inactivation and interaction with glycogenin

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Glycogen is a major energy reserve in eukaryotes and is synthesised in part by glycogenin (GN) and glycogen synthase (GS). Here, authors describe the structural basis of GS regulation, specifically the mechanism of inactivation by phosphorylation.

Identification and Characterization of GYS and GSK3β Provides Insights into the Regulation of Glycogen Synthesis in Jinjiang Oyster Crassostrea ariakensis

open access: yesFishes, 2023
Glycogen, a stored form of glucose, is an important form of energy for aquatic shellfish, contributing to the flavor and quality of the oyster. The glycogen synthase (GYS) and glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) are two major enzymes in the glycogenesis.

Morphological analysis of CDC2 and glycogen synthase kinase 3β phosphorylation as markers of g2 → m transition in glioma. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
G2 → M transition is a strategic target for glioma chemotherapy. Key players in G2 → M transition include CDC2 and glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), which are highly regulated by posttranslational phosphorylation.

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

open access: yesEuropean 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.

Islet Transplantation under the Kidney Capsule Corrects the Defects in Glycogen Metabolism in Both Liver and Muscle of Streptozocin-Diabetic Rats

open access: yesCell Transplantation, 2002
Insulin-deficient rats are characterized by multiple defects in the pathway of glycogen synthesis and breakdown in both liver and skeletal muscle. The aim of this study was to clarify whether islet transplantation under the kidney capsule, which is ...

Molecular basis of impaired glycogen metabolism during ischemic stroke and hypoxia. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND: Ischemic stroke is the combinatorial effect of many pathological processes including the loss of energy supplies, excessive intracellular calcium accumulation, oxidative stress, and inflammatory responses.

Rag GTPases are cardioprotective by regulating lysosomal function. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The Rag family proteins are Ras-like small GTPases that have a critical role in amino-acid-stimulated mTORC1 activation by recruiting mTORC1 to lysosome.

A whole-body model for glycogen regulation reveals a critical role for substrate cycling in maintaining blood glucose homeostasis.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2011
Timely, and sometimes rapid, metabolic adaptation to changes in food supply is critical for survival as an organism moves from the fasted to the fed state, and vice versa.
