Glycogen, a hyperbranched polymer of glucose, plays a central role as an energy reserve across diverse organisms. In Escherichia coli, its biosynthesis is linked not only to energy storage but also to ...

Humans carry around with them, often abundantly so, at least two kinds of fat tissue: white and brown. White fat cells are essentially inert containers for energy stored in the form of a single large, ...

Multiple insulin-regulated enzymes participate in hepatic glycogen synthesis, and the rate-controlling step responsible for insulin stimulation of glycogen synthesis is unknown. We demonstrate that ...

Objective Intravenous insulin infusion partly improves liver glucose fluxes in type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study tests the hypothesis that continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) normalizes ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Glycogen synthesis was investigated by giving tritium (H3)-labeled glucose with carrier to fasted rats in vivo or incubating liver slices from ...

New research published in Nature Metabolism has identified a previously underestimated contributor to tau-related neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal ...

Research conducted at the University of São Paulo (USP) in Brazil shows that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, can infect liver cells (hepatocytes), stimulating glucose production and ...

In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining optimal health can be a daunting task, especially for those struggling with weight management and blood sugar levels. Enter Glycogen X Glyco Optimizer, a ...

A new study offers critical insight into the biochemistry of a rare and fatal form of epilepsy known as Lafora disease, a genetic condition that typically strikes children in their teens. The disease ...
