Factors affecting the molecular weight distribution of liver glycogen

The molecular weight distribution of mouse liver glycogen under different conditions has been investigated. Factors which diminish glycogen content, such as fasting, epinephrine, glucagon, insulin, and ischemia, were found to produce only a slight decrease in molecular weight. After glucose administ...

Factors which diminish glycogen content, such as fasting, epinephrine, glucagon, insulin, and ischemia, were found to produce only a slight decrease in molecular weight. After glucose administration, the molecular weight distribution remained nearly unchanged although glycogen content increased considerably.
