For 20 years he has traced the progress of sugar through the body, watched it turn into glycogen (animal starch), measured how much glycogen is stored in the muscles and liver. Cori’s most ...

The SEX4 phosphatase is related to laforin, a protein involved in animal glycogen metabolism. When laforin is missing, insoluble starch-like polyglucosans (Lafora bodies) accumulate, which results ...

for determining the process by which the body stores sugar in the liver as glycogen, or animal starch, and then reconverts the glycogen to sugar as it is needed.

The horse is only able to store a limited amount of glycogen in the muscles ... small for such a large animal and meal sizes should not exceed 2.5kg of a starch-based feed for a 500kg horse ...

Starch and cellulose are polymers made ... All cells require glucose for respiration. Animals can convert glycogen into glucose when they need a short term supply of energy and they have run ...
