Revista de la Sociedad Argentina de Diabetes, 2020 Symposium 10: Insulin resistance: from pathophysiology to treatment Muscle The main action of the insulin in the muscle is that of promoting the entrance of glucose to the myocyte through the glucose transporter type 4 (GLUT-4) and its storage as an ...

Ultrasensitive glycogen synthesis inCyanobacteria [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1999 CyanobacterADPglucose pyrophosphorylase exhibits a ultrasensitive response in activity towards its allosteric effector 3‐phosphoglycerate, elicited by orthophosphate and polyethyleneglycol‐induced molecular crowding. The ultrasensitive response was observed either when the enzyme operates in the zero or first order region for its physiological ...

Regulation of glycogen synthesis in rat skeletal muscle after glycogen-depleting contractile activity: effects of adrenaline on glycogen synthesis and activation of glycogen synthase and glycogen phosphorylase [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1999 We investigated the effects of insulin and adrenaline on the rate of glycogen synthesis in skeletal muscles after electrical stimulation in vitro. The contractile activity decreased the glycogen concentration by 62%. After contractile activity, the glycogen stores were fully replenished at a constant and high rate for 3 h when 10 m-i.u./ml insulin was ...

The Stimulation of Glycogen Synthesis and of Glycogen Synthetase in the Liver by Glucocorticoids [PDF]
European Journal of Biochemistry, 1967 In the N.M.R.I. mouse which has been treated by prednisolone the blood glucose level is only slightly increased and its turnover rate is not changed; the conversion of glucose to liver glycogen is greatly stimulated and the activity of glycogen synthetase in the liver is increased in a similar proportion, at least when it is measured in a concentrated ...

The role of skeletal muscle glycogen breakdown for regulation of insulin sensitivity by exercise
Frontiers in Physiology, 2011 Glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in mammals. In humans the majority of glycogen is stored in skeletal muscles (~500 g) and the liver (~100 g). Food is supplied in larger meals, but the blood glucose concentration has to be kept within narrow

Glycogen Synthesis in Human Gastrocnemius Muscle Is Not Representative of Whole-Body Muscle Glycogen Synthesis [PDF]
Diabetes, 2005 The introduction of 13C magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) has enabled noninvasive measurement of muscle glycogen synthesis in humans. Conclusions based on measurements by the MRS technique assume that glucose metabolism in gastrocnemius muscle is representative for all skeletal muscles and thus can be extrapolated to whole-body muscle glucose ...

Role of glycogenolysis in memory and learning: regulation by noradrenaline, serotonin and ATP
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2016 This paper reviews the role played by glycogen breakdown (glycogenolysis) and glycogen re-synthesis in memory processing in two different chick brain regions, (1) the hippocampus and (2) the avian equivalent of the mammalian cortex, the intermediate ...

Apelin ameliorates TNF-α-induced reduction of glycogen synthesis in the hepatocytes through G protein-coupled receptor APJ. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Apelin, a novel adipokine, is the specific endogenous ligand of G protein-coupled receptor APJ. Consistent with its putative role as an adipokine, apelin has been linked to states of insulin resistance.

Glycogen Metabolism and Its Role in Growth and Encystation in Entamoeba histolytica
Life, 2023 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.
