SINCE Leloir and Cardini1 showed that glycogen was synthesized from uridine diphosphate–glucose (UDPG) by liver extracts, it has become commonly accepted2,3 that the normal mechanism of glycogen ...

A new study from scientists at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging has revealed a surprising player in the battle ...

Researchers have uncovered how the breakdown of glycogen may protect the brain from neurodegeneration and Alzheimer's.

Glycogenolysis involves the breakdown of glycogen to glucose-6-phosphate from precursors (eg, lactate, glycerol, amino acids) and its subsequent hydrolysis (via glucose-6-phosphatase) to free glucose.
