was initially described as a key enzyme involved in glycogen metabolism, but is now known to regulate a diverse array of cell functions. The study of the substrate specificity and regulation of ...

Animal cells can also synthesize branched polymers of glucose known as glycogen, which in turn aggregate into particles that are observable via electron microscopy. A cell can rapidly mobilize ...

Most of us would probably think of smoking or air pollution when it comes to lung cancer risk, but researchers have ...

Research published in Nature Metabolism shows that glycogen buildup plays a critical role in lung adenocarcinoma, an ...

Marathon runners experience reversible changes in their brain myelin. These findings indicate that myelin (a substance that surrounds the neurons) exhibits behavior that was previously unknown, and ...

Methods: Glycogen content and activity of muscle enzymes with regulatory functions in glycogen synthesis were examined. Results: Testosterone treatment increased glycogen content of extensor digitorum ...

According to a study published by Nature Metabolism, marathon runners experience reversible changes in their brain myelin.

In a new study that challenges long-held views on lung cancer, University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center researchers have discovered a surprising ...

The study, led by University of Florida researchers and published in Nature Metabolism ... with altered genetics to directly control glycogen metabolism. For two weeks the mice were fed either ...

Their findings, published in Nature Metabolism, highlight the influence of diet on health ... When consumed in excess, it is stored in the body as glycogen for later use. Researchers have already ...
