The release of glucose from glycogen in the liver proceeds through ... terminal glucosyl unit of the alpha 1–4 chain to glucose-1-phosphate, which is acted upon by phosphoglucomutase to become ...

When blood glucose is low, glycogen degradation (yellow box) generates glucose-1-phosphate, which is converted by phosphoglucomutase 1 (PGM1) to glucose-6-phosphate for glucose release from the ...

Experimenting on minced skeletal muscle from frogs, the Coris determined a new intermediate of glycogen breakdown, which they described as glucose-1-phosphate and which came to be known as the "Cori ...

Glucagon breaks down glycogen to glucose ... the cells absorb glucose from the blood, while glucagon triggers a release of glucose from the liver. People with type 1 diabetes need to take ...

This valuable study presents a novel approach to enhance the therapeutic potential of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) by genetically modifying their glycogen synthesis pathway, resulting in increased ...
