Separation and Characterisation of Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3,Glycogen Synthase Kinase 4 and Glycogen Synthase Kinase 5 from Rabbit Skeletal Muscle [PDF]
Three glycogen synthase kinases termed glycogen synthase kinase 3, glycogen synthase kinase 4 and glycogen synthase kinase 5, which are distinct from cyclic‐AMP‐dependent protein kinase and phosphorylase kinase,have been purified and characterised. Their activities are unaffected by Ca2+, calmodulin, cyclic nucleotides and the inhibitor protein of ...

Control of glycogen content in retina: allosteric regulation of glycogen synthase. [PDF]
Retinal tissue is exceptional because it shows a high level of energy metabolism. Glycogen content represents the only energy reserve in retina, but its levels are limited.

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 ...

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.

Pompe disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency of acid α-glucosidase (GAA; EC 3.2.1.20) and the resultant progressive lysosomal accumulation of glycogen in skeletal and cardiac muscles.

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.

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.

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

Hypoxia promotes glycogen accumulation through hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-mediated induction of glycogen synthase 1. [PDF]
When oxygen becomes limiting, cells reduce mitochondrial respiration and increase ATP production through anaerobic fermentation of glucose. The Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIFs) play a key role in this metabolic shift by regulating the transcription of ...
