Glucose homeostasis is tightly regulated to meet the energy requirements of the vital organs and maintain an individual’s health. The liver has a major role in the control of glucose homeostasis ...
Glycogenolysis involves the breakdown of glycogen to glucose-6-phosphate from precursors (eg, lactate, glycerol, amino acids) and its subsequent hydrolysis (via glucose-6-phosphatase) to free glucose.
Because it specifically blocks muscle glycogenolysis, McArdle's disease is a naturally occurring model that has helped elucidate the role of muscle glycogen in many physiologic processes. 3,6–12 ...
Glucagon increases the production of glucose by increasing glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in the liver, and by reducing glycogenesis and glycolysis. The release of glucagon in response to food ...
Radiation Research publishes articles dealing with radiation effects and related subjects in the areas of physics, chemistry, biology and medicine, including epidemiology and translational research.
