Purification of Starch Granules from Arabidopsis Leaves and Determination of Granule-Bound Starch Synthase Activity [PDF]

, 2014
Starch constitutes the most important carbon reserve in plants and is composed of branched amylopectin and linear amylose. The latter is synthesized exclusively by the Granule-Bound Starch Synthase (GBSS, EC 2.4.1.21).

Antisense Oligonucleotide-mediated Suppression of Muscle Glycogen Synthase 1 Synthesis as an Approach for Substrate Reduction Therapy of Pompe Disease

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2014
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.

Control of glycogen content in retina: allosteric regulation of glycogen synthase. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
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.

Separation and Characterisation of Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3,Glycogen Synthase Kinase 4 and Glycogen Synthase Kinase 5 from Rabbit Skeletal Muscle [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1982
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 ...

Huddling alleviates the decrease in glycogen and lipid content in the liver of Brandt’s vole caused by mild cold environment [PDF]

Zoologia (Curitiba)
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.

Palmitoleic acid prevents palmitic acid-induced macrophage activation and consequent p38 MAPK-mediated-skeletal muscle insulin resistance [PDF]

, 2014
Obesity and saturated fatty acid (SFA) treatment are both associated with skeletal muscle insulin resistance (IR) and increased macrophage infiltration. However, the relative effects of SFA and unsaturated fatty acid (UFA)-activated macrophages on muscle
