The activity of the enzyme system which converts hepatic glycogen synthetase to the active form disappears from the livers of fasted, adrenalectomized rats. The level of active synthetase in such preparations is nil. After the administration of glucocorticoid there is a return of activating enzyme activity and gradual increases in the level of active glycogen synthetase, the rate of glycogen sy...

The occurrence disorder is most commonly related inadequate control blood sugars. Herein, we report upon case an 18-year-old girl presenting severe ...

Increased dietary protein intake rapidly (3 h) decreases hepatic malic enzyme and increases hepatic histidase mRNA expression in broiler chicks. A series of experiments was conducted to determine the role that glucagon or a specific mixture of dietary amino acids might have in regulating the rapid changes in mRNA expression of these enzymes, when dietary protein intake is increased. Three hours...
