    Abstract : Effective insulin-stimulated storage of excess glucose after a meal, and its rapid mobilisation in the fasting state provide basis of glucose homeostasis. Glycogen is the macromolecular storage form of glucose and glycogen synthase (GS) is the rate-limiting enzyme in glycogen synthesis. Skeletal muscle and liver are the major depots of glycogen.

  4. 2. Two new disorders of glycogen metabolism

    Author : Johanna Nilsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glycogen; Glycogenin; Glycogenosis; Glycogen storage disease; Glycosylation; Mass spectrometry;

    Abstract : Glycogen is a polymer of glucose and serves as a source of rapidly available energy. Glycogen synthesis is initiated by autoglucosylation of glycogenin. Two glycogenin genes, GYG1 and GYG2, encode the two isoforms glycogenin-1 and -2, respectively. READ MORE

  7. 5. Crisis in Energy Metabolism - Mitochondrial Defects and a New Disease Entity

    Author : Gittan Kollberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Energy metabolism; Mitochondrial Disorders; mtDNA; multiple mtDNA deletions; Alpers-Huttenlocher syndrome; POLG1; GYS1; glycogen synthase; point mutation; Polymerase gamma;

    Abstract : Impairment of energy metabolism may be associated with severe implications for affected individuals since all fundamental cell functions are energy-dependent. Disorders of energy metabolism are often genetic and associated with defects in the oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria. READ MORE
