Shin, S., Wolgamott, L., Tcherkezian, J. et al. Glycogen synthase kinase-3β positively regulates protein synthesis and cell proliferation through the regulation of translation initiation factor ...

The accumulation of glycogen in the liver during feeding conditions provides a storage form of glucose that can be used in times of reduced food intake (Figure 1). Multiple layers of regulation ...

Rather than using glycogen as a fuel for energy production, these enzyme-supported neurons rerouted the sugar molecules into the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP)-a critical route for generating ...

PKA activated by glucagon also prevents the production of glycogen because it induces the phosphorylation of the enzyme glycogen synthase, which is essential for the biosynthesis of glycogen ...

Next, Sun will further his investigations into the role of aberrant glycogen in Ewing sarcoma. In July, he received the St. Baldrick’s Scholar award for pediatric oncology research, funding work ...

Glycogen is typically thought of as a reserve energy source stored in the liver and muscles. While small amounts also exist in the brain, particularly in support cells called astrocytes, its role ...
