Extract: Total glycogen synthetase and syntheatse I (glucose 6-PO 4 indendependent) and phosphorylase and phosphorylase a activites determined in muscle from fetal,neonatal, infant, and adult rhesus ...

Glycogen is a glucose polymer that contains minor amounts of covalently attached phosphate. Hyperphosphorylation is deleterious to glycogen structure and can lead to Lafora disease. Recently, it was ...

DURING starvation, glycogenolysis is associated with the release of the enzymes phosphorylase and glycogen synthetase from insoluble granules into the cytoplasm. This event is accompanied by a ...

Glycogen, which serves as a major energy reserve in cells, is a large, branched polymer of glucose molecules. We describe a patient who had muscle weakness, associated with the depletion of glycogen ...

Storage of glycogen is essential for glucose homeostasis and for energy supply during bursts of activity and sustained muscle work. We describe three siblings with profound muscle and heart glycogen ...

A new study from scientists at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging has revealed a surprising player in the battle against Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia: brain sugar metabolism.

A surprising discovery about how brain cells handle sugar could shift how scientists approach dementia and Alzheimer’s treatments. In a new study published in Nature Metabolism, researchers uncovered ...

The brain has a hidden "sugar code" that could lead to better treatments for neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, according to new research. A study recently published in the journal Nature ...

Stores of glucose in the brain could play a much more significant role in the pathological degeneration of neurons than scientists realized, opening the way to new treatments for conditions like ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising sugar-related mechanism inside brain cells that could transform how we fight Alzheimer’s and other dementias. It turns out neurons don’t just store sugar for ...

Sanofi has sealed a $150 million licensing deal to gain access to Maze’s glycogen synthase 1 (GYS1) program, landing the company’s lead candidate MZE001 in the process. The licensing agreement ...
