Glycogen metabolism in glycogen-rich erythrocytes.

چکیده
High concentrations of red blood cell glycogen were visualized by el.ctron microscopy and demonstrated biochemically in amylo1 ,6-glucosidaseand phosphorylase-deficient red blood cells. Glycogen concentration decreased as a function of cell age. Similar incorporation rates of ‘4C-U-glucose into glycogen were observed in amylo-1 ,6-glucosidase-deflcient and normal erythrocytes, characterized by an initial rise, followed by a plateau formation reflecting a steady state between

Glucose and glycogen metabolism in erythrocytes from normal and glycogen storage disease type III subjects.
Active glycogen metabolism has been demonstrated in both normal and glycogen-rich erythrocytes taken from patients with type III glycogen storage disease. Activity of all enzymes catalyzing the reactions required for the synthesis and degradation of glycogen have been demonstrated in the mature erythrocytes. Uniformly labeled glucose-(14)C is incorporated into glycogen in intact cells of both t...
متن کاملGlycogen metabolism in the normal red blood cell.
Evidence for active glycogen metabolism in normal mature red blood cells (RBC) is presented. Initial rates of ‘4C-U-glucose incorporation into erythrocyte glycogen were found to be independent of substrate concentration over a range of 3.3-16.6 mM. Incorporation of label into glycogen was initially linear but reached a plateau after a variable period of time that was Inversely related to RBC co...
متن کاملPartial recovery of erythrocyte glycogen in diabetic rats treated with phenobarbital.
Erythrocytes may play a role in glucose homeostasis during the postprandial period. Erythrocytes from diabetic patients are defective in glucose transport and metabolism, functions that may affect glycogen storage. Phenobarbital, a hepatic enzyme inducer, has been used in the treatment of patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), increasing the insulin-mediated glucose disp...
متن کاملMuscle glycogen metabolism changes in rats fed early postnatal a fructose-rich diet after maternal protein malnutrition: effects of acute physical exercise at the maximal lactate steady-state intensity
BACKGROUND The objective was to evaluate the muscle glucose metabolism in rats fed a fructose-rich diet after fetal protein malnutrition, at rest and after acute physical exercise at maximal lactate steady-state intensity. METHODS The male offspring born of mothers fed on a balanced or low-protein diet were split in four groups until 60 days: Balanced (B): balanced diet during the whole perio...
متن کاملGlycogen metabolism in humans☆☆☆
In the human body, glycogen is a branched polymer of glucose stored mainly in the liver and the skeletal muscle that supplies glucose to the blood stream during fasting periods and to the muscle cells during muscle contraction. Glycogen has been identified in other tissues such as brain, heart, kidney, adipose tissue, and erythrocytes, but glycogen function in these tissues is mostly unknown. G...
