Ciba foundation colloquia on endocrinology. Volume VI: Hormonal factors in carbohydrate metabolism

Studies on carbohydrate metabolism in rat liver slices. VI. Hormonal factors influencing glucose-6-phosphatase.

In any consideration of carbohydrate metabolism of the liver, glucose-6phosphate plays an important r81e. Glucose must first be phosphorylated to glucose-6-phosphate in order to enter the glycolytic pathway to form glycogen and fat for storage, or to be burned for energy. On the other hand, liver phosphatase must split glucose-6-phosphate into glucose and inorganic phosphate before stored carbo...

Energy Metabolism in Trauma. A Ciba Foundation Symposium

The body's response to trauma is clharacterizedl by complex alterations in energy procluction and utilization. Energy produtction is first depressed and then stimulated. Interrelatecl chaniges in thermoreguilation and in protein, carbohydrate andl fat metabolism are observedl. Researchi on the basic bioclhemical aspects of these changes in energy metabolism may lhave (lirect clinical applicatio...

collagen molecule, the most abundant protein in the fibrotic matrix. Describing the synthesis of the interstitial collagens, Types I and III, de Crombrugghe et al. outline the complex series of translocation and splicing events that ultimately lead to the transcription of the chick a2(I), oal(I) and al(III) collagen genes. Kivirikko and Majamaa explore the regulation of post-translational modif...
