于2005年11月至2006年10月,用硫酸-蒽酮比色法和比重法测定了中华蟾蜍各月份的肝糖原和肌糖原含量及肝比重。结果显示:冬眠期间(11月至次年的2月),糖原含量逐月下降;2月份时出现临时回升,然后继续下降;4月份时肝糖原含量最低;5月份起,肝糖原含量逐渐上升;5月份时肌糖原含量为最低;6月份起,肌糖原含量逐渐上升。虽然在7-8月间出现过下降,两种糖原的含量在10月份时达到一年中的最高值。这些结果表明,蟾蜍糖原含量在一年中呈现显著的季节性波动。越冬前所储备糖原的一部分可能用于越冬期间维持高水平的血糖,一部分用于基础代谢。2月份时糖原含量的临时上升,可能是血液中作为防冻保护剂的葡萄糖运回肝脏和肌肉中再合成糖原的结果。7-8月间糖原含量降低可能与蟾蜍夏蛰有关。雌性5月至10月期间的肝糖原总体水平显著低于雄性,可能与依赖可得到葡萄糖的卵母细胞中的糖原合成有关。糖原含量的季节变化与蟾蜍的生活状态(越冬、繁殖等)有关,并与血糖含量有联动关系。 相似文献

The effects of different types of stre35 on carbohydrate metabolism in N. notopterus were investigated. Starvation alone brings about a signifiant increse in the glycogen content of the saccus vasculosus and a significant decrease in the brain glycogen concentration. The increased glycogen concentration in the saccus vasculosus may be a device to safeguard the brain against glucose deficiency during starvation stress. Rapid depletion of the muscle glycogen following fasting shows that the muscle glycogen IS the readily utilizable source of energy during starvation. Exposure of N. noropierus to air brought about an increaSe in the liver glycogen and blood glucose levels but did not affect other paramcters studied. Physical exhaustion of N. notopierus is noticed within 1–2 min of exercise. The readily available source of energy for exercise is the muscle glycogen. and the lactic acid produced is probably metabolized in the muscle itself. Saccus vasculosus glycogen. though inde-pendent of changes in the blood glucose levels, may possibly be controlled by variations in the brain glycogen. 相似文献

Deuterium labelled glucose has been used to study the pathway of hepatic glycogen synthesis during the fasted-refed transition in rats. Deuterium enrichment of liver glycogen was determined using nuclear magnetic resonance as well as mass spectroscopy. Sixty minutes after oral administration of deuterated glucose to fasted rats, the portal vein blood was fully enriched with deuterated glucose. Despite this, less than half of the glucose molecules incorporated into liver glycogen contained deuterium. The loss of deuterium label from glucose is consistent with hepatic glycogen synthesis by an indirect pathway requiring prior metabolism of glucose. The use of deuterium labelled glucose may prove to be a useful probe to study hepatic glycogen metabolism. Its use may also find application in the study of liver glycogen metabolism in humans by a noninvasive means. 相似文献

The portions of both liver and muscle glycogen that have a high protein content have been investigated. In liver the high molecular weight protions of glycogen may be rendered insoluble by treatment with trichloroacetic acid. This shows that reported desmo- (or insoluble) glycogen is an artefact of the extraction process and therefore of no physiological significance. In contrast, muscle glycogen isolubility is not associated with any specific molecular size range. Insolubility of muscle glycogen is shown to be related to partial degradation of the polysaccharide and to the high protein content remaining after the gentle extraction procedure. Since the molecular weight profile is unaltered by the removal of the insoluble glycogen it does not interfere with the interpretation of metabolic studies. 相似文献

The kinetics of the periodic acid oxidation as part of the periodic acid-Schiff reaction was studied by combined microinterferometry and microspectrophotometry in micromodel systems of liver glycogen and leukocyte glycogen as well as in neutrophil leukocytes. The initial formation of Schiff-positive chromogens was more rapid in neutrophil leukocytes than in liver or leukocyte glycogen. The chromogen formation was, however, practically complete within 60 min in both neutrophil leukocytes and leukocyte glycogen, but this did not appear to be the case in liver glycogen. Differences in the rate of chromogen formation may depend on various factors such as differences in the source and treatment of the glycogen. The complete periodic acid-Schiff reaction appears to be a measure of the glycogen amount in neutrophil leukocytes and the microdroplet system of leukocyte glycogen is considered to be an appropriate model for the estimation of the glycogen amount in single neutrophil leukocytes. A mean value of 13.3 10-12 g glycogen per normal human neutrophil was found. 相似文献

In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, glycogen is accumulated as a carbohydrate reserve when cells are deprived of nutrients. Yeast mutated in SNF1, a gene encoding a protein kinase required for glucose derepression, has diminished glycogen accumulation and concomitant inactivation of glycogen synthase. Restoration of synthesis in an snf1 strain results only in transient glycogen accumulation, implying the existence of other SNF1-dependent controls of glycogen storage. A genetic screen revealed that two genes involved in autophagy, APG1 and APG13, may be regulated by SNF1. Increased autophagic activity was observed in wild-type cells entering the stationary phase, but this induction was impaired in an snf1 strain. Mutants defective for autophagy were able to synthesize glycogen upon approaching the stationary phase, but were unable to maintain their glycogen stores, because subsequent synthesis was impaired and degradation by phosphorylase, Gph1p, was enhanced. Thus, deletion of GPH1 partially reversed the loss of glycogen accumulation in autophagy mutants. Loss of the vacuolar glucosidase, SGA1, also protected glycogen stores, but only very late in the stationary phase. Gph1p and Sga1p may therefore degrade physically distinct pools of glycogen. Pho85p is a cyclin-dependent protein kinase that antagonizes SNF1 control of glycogen synthesis. Induction of autophagy in pho85 mutants entering the stationary phase was exaggerated compared to the level in wild-type cells, but was blocked in apg1 pho85 mutants. We propose that Snf1p and Pho85p are, respectively, positive and negative regulators of autophagy, probably via Apg1 and/or Apg13. Defective glycogen storage in snf1 cells can be attributed to both defective synthesis upon entry into stationary phase and impaired maintenance of glycogen levels caused by the lack of autophagy. 相似文献

The biogenesis of glycogen in skeletal muscle requires a priming mechanism that has recently been elucidated. The first step is catalysed by a protein tyrosine glucosyltransferase and involves the formation of a novel glycosidic linkage, namely the covalent attachment of glucose to a single tyrosine residue (Tyr194) on a priming protein, termed glycogenin. The next stage is the extension of the glucan chain from Tyr194 and involves the sequential addition of up to seven further glucosyl residues. This reaction is brought about autocatalytically by glycogenin itself, which is a Mn2+/Mg(2+)-dependent UDP-Glc-requiring glucosyltransferase. The glucan primer is elongated by glycogen synthase, but only when glycogenin and glycogen synthase are complexed together. Glycogen synthase dissociates from glycogenin during the synthesis of a glycogen molecule, enabling glycogen molecules to reach their maximum theoretical size. Each mature glycogen beta particle in muscle contains one molecule of glycogenin attached covalently, and an average one glycogen synthase catalytic subunit bound non-covalently. As evidence accumulates that a priming protein may be a fundamental property of polysaccharide synthesis in general, the molecular details of mammalian glycogen biogenesis may serve as a useful model for other systems. 相似文献

Proglycogen: a low-molecular-weight form of muscle glycogen. 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
We recently reported that muscle contains a trichloroacetic acid-precipitable component having Mr approx. 400 kDa that can be glucosylated by an endogenous enzyme acting on UDPglucose. This component contains within itself the autocatalytic, self-glucosylating protein glycogenin, the primer for glycogen synthesis. We now report that this substance, to which we give the name proglycogen, is a glycogen-like molecule constituting about 15% of total glycogen. It acts as a very efficient acceptor of glucose residues added from UDPglucose. Further, that the endogenous enzyme that adds the glucose to proglycogen is not the autocatalytic protein but a glycogen synthase-like enzyme. Proglycogen may be an intermediate in the synthesis and degradation of macromolecular glycogen and may exist and be metabolized as a separate entity. Consideration should now be given to the revival of the concept that tissue contains two forms of glycogen. One is proglycogen. The other is the 'classical', macromolecular glycogen. Additionally, proglycogen and glycogen may be glucosylated by different forms of synthase. 相似文献

In eukaryotic cells, glycogenin is a self-glucosylating protein that primes glycogen synthesis. In yeast, the loss of function of GLG1 and GLG2, which encode glycogenin, normally leads to the inability of cells to synthesize glycogen. In this report, we show that a small fraction of colonies from glg1glg2 mutants can switch on glycogen synthesis to levels comparable to wild-type strain. The occurrence of glycogen positive glg1glg2 colonies is strongly enhanced by the presence of a hyperactive glycogen synthase and increased even more upon deletion of TPS1. In all cases, this phenotype is reversible, indicating the stochastic nature of this synthesis, which is furthermore illustrated by colour-sectoring of colonies upon iodine-staining. Altogether, these data suggest that glycogen synthesis in the absence of glycogenin relies on a combination of several factors, including an activated glycogen synthase and as yet unknown alternative primers whose synthesis and/or distribution may be controlled by TPS1 or under epigenetic silencing. 相似文献

A method is proposed to measure glycogen content in liver homogenates without extraction and acid hydrolysis of tissue glycogen. Homogenates were treated with amyloglucosidase, which degrades glycogen to glucose, and the glucose was the determined enzymatically by the use of glucose oxidase and peroxidase. The method was shown to yield nearly complete (99%) recoveries of standard glycogen, while 5 hr of acid hydrolysis of standard glycogen were required to obtain comparable recoveries. When compared to an acid hydrolysis method for liver, amyloglucosidase degradation of rat liver glycogen and subsequent determination of glucose resulted in higher values for glycogen content. The amyloglucosidase, glucose oxidase: peroxidase method has the advantage of rapidity, whereas the traditional method consisting of extraction, precipitation, and acid hydrolysis is not only time consuming, but may also be subject to losses of glycogen in each step. 相似文献

Experimental evidence is presented concerning the existence of complexes of glycogenolytic enzymes with sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) in skeletal muscles of the skates Dasyatis pastinaca and Raja clavata and frog Rana temporaria. At various stages of preparation of kinase of glycogen phosphorylase (KGP) from ectothermic animals, in contrast to rabbit, association of KGP with the SR and glycogen granules persisted in calcium-free medium. Complex of KGP with glycogen phosphorylase and ATPase could be fractionated only during chromatographic procedure on Sepharose 4B, chromatographic pictures being distinctly different from those obtained for rabbit. It may be suggested that activation of KGP by Ca2+ in a multienzyme SR--glycogenolytic complex plays an important role in regulation of glycogenolysis in muscle tissue of skates, since hormonal stimulation of glycogen phosphorylation had not yet been described for these fishes. 相似文献

Age-related changes in some parameters related to carbohydrate metabolism in the stick insect, Carausius morosus, were investigated during the 6th instar and up to day 37 of adult life. Total haemolymph carbohydrate concentration and the fat body glycogen content are low and may be related to the low activity of this insect. Trehalose constitutes about 75–80% of the total blood carbohydrate pool. During the moult, total blood carbohydrate, fat body glycogen and haemolymph volume, decrease while glycogen phosphorylase activity of the fat body is slightly activated. The effects are brought about mainly by reduced feeding activity, but may also be influenced by the shedding and replacement of the cuticle. During starvation, blood homeostasis is maintained at the expense of fat body glycogen via an activation of phosphorylase. During reproduction, although no dramatic changes in fat body glycogen levels occur, blood carbohydrates are maintained and fat body phosphorylase is slightly activated. The possibility is discussed that during moulting and reproduction, blood sugar homeostasis is maintained by a hormonal mechanism controlling glycogen phosphorylase. No circadian rhythm in any parameter investigated is observed. 相似文献

1. A total loss of capacity for net glycogen synthesis was observed in experiments with the perfused liver of starved adrenalectomized rats. 2. This lesion was corrected by insulin or cortisol in vivo (over 2-5h), but not by any agent tested in perfusion. 3. The activity of glycogen synthetase a, and its increase during perfusion, in the presence of glucose plus glucogenic substrates, were proportional to the rate of net glycogen accumulation. 4. This complete inherent loss of capacity for glycogen synthesis after adrenalectomy is greater than any defect in hepatic metabolism yet reported in this situation, and is not explicable by a decrease in the rate of gluconegenesis (which supports glycogen synthesis in the liver of starved rats). The short-term (2-5h) stimulatory effect of glucocorticoids in the intact animal, on hepatic glycogen deposition, may be mediated partly through insulin action, although neither insulin or cortisol appear to act directly on the liver to stimulate glycogen synthesis. 相似文献

The activation of glycogen synthase by insulin is in many instances stimulated by the presence of extracellular glucose. Previous observations in cell extracts, glycogen pellets and other crude systems suggest that this stimulation may be due to an increase in glucose 6-phosphate, which activates the dephosphorylation of glycogen synthase by protein phosphatases. Using purified rabbit muscle glycogen synthase D and protein phosphatases 1 and 2A, the types responsible for the activation of muscle synthase, it was found that glucose 6-phosphate, at low, physiological concentrations, stimulated the dephosphorylation of glycogen synthase. Both types of phosphatase were stimulated to the same extent when acting on glycogen synthase. The dephosphorylation of other protein substrates of the phosphatases was either not affected or inhibited by glucose 6-phosphate. It appears that the stimulatory effect of glucose 6-phosphate at physiological concentrations is apparently specific for glycogen synthase, and most likely due to an allosteric configuration change of this enzyme which facilitates its dephosphorylation. In addition, the effects of other reported modulators of glycogen synthase dephosphorylation, AMP, ATP and Mg2+, were studied in this 'in vitro' system. 相似文献

Insulin resistance with aging may be responsible for impaired glycogen synthesis in the skeletal muscle of aged rats and contribute to the well-known decreased ability to respond to stress with aging. For this reason, to assess the ability of the skeletal muscle to utilize glucose for glycogen synthesis during aging, the time course of glycogen synthesis was continuously monitored by 13C nuclear magnetic resonance for 2 h in isolated [13C] glucose-perfused gastrocnemius-plantaris muscles of 5-day food-deprived adult (6-8 months; n=10) or 5-day food-deprived aged (22 months; n=8) rats. [13C] glucose (10 mmol/L) perfusion was carried out in the presence or absence of an excess of insulin (1 micromol/L). Food deprivation only decreased glycogen level in adult rats (8.9+/-2.4 micromol/g in adults vs. 35.6+/-2.4 micromol/g in aged rats; P<.05). In the presence of an excess of insulin, muscle glycogen synthesis was stimulated in both adult and aged muscles, but the onset was delayed with aging (40 min later). In conclusion, this study highlights the important role of glycogen depletion in stimulating glycogen synthesis in muscles. Consequently, the absence of glycogen depletion in response to starvation in aged rats may be the origin of the delay in insulin-stimulated glycogen synthesis in the skeletal muscle. Glycogen synthesis clearly was not impaired with aging. 相似文献

The Monoamines 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), noradrenaline (NA) and histamine, and the peptide Vasoactive Intestinal Polypeptide (VIP), regulate energy metabolism in nervous tissue, in addition to producing excitation and/or inhibition. These transmitters induce glycogen hydrolysis in a concentration dependent manner. The glycogen breakdown is brought about by increased cyclic AMP formation, or translocation of calcium ions to activate phosphorylase, and is partially localized in glial cells. Data from a diversity of nervous systems, including leech and snail ganglia, and rodent cortex, point towards important roles for neurons containing these transmitters in the regulation of the glycogen turnover. It is proposed that energy metabolism may be controlled within domains defined by the geometric arrangements of the neurons releasing these transmitters. The different domains may overlap temporally and spatially to coordinate energy metabolism in relation to increases in neuronal activity. The non-myelin forming glial cells, which contain glycogen whose turnover rate is altered by the transmitters, appear to be important in the local supply of energy substrate to neurons. 相似文献

The influence of starvation has been studied on tissue and serum G-6Pase F-D-Pase and alkaline phosphatase activities and on the muscle and liver glycogen content of the freshwater catfish H. fossilis (Bloch). A marked increase in G-6Pase and F-D-Pase activities and a fall in the muscle and liver glycogen content recorded during 40 day starvation. The rise in gluconeogenic enzymes during starvation may be due to glucocorticoid stimulation. Alkaline phosphatase activity was found to decline markedly during starvation. The decline in enzyme activity is attributed to some factors like a fall in the rate of synthesis caused by lowered metabolic demands and to electrolyte imbalance caused by tissue overhydration. The fall in glycogen content may be related to the starved condition of the fish. Elevation in glycogen content and alkaline phosphatase activity and a fall in gluconeogenic enzymes were noted when feeding had been resumed. 相似文献

By cytofluorometry employing the cytofluorometric PAS reaction, a study was made of the total glycogen and of its two fractions in liver parenchymal cells, both in the norm and in patients with chronic alcoholism (alcoholic steatosis, chronic alcoholic hepatitis, and mixed forms of alcoholic-viral hepatitis, viral hepatitis with steatosis and also viral hepatitis). The examination was performed on preparations-smears of isolated hepatocytes, obtained from the live puncture liver biopsies. The quantitative analysis has shown the increase in the total glycogen content in hepatocytes of patients with alcoholic hepatitis in comparison with the norm and with chronic viral hepatitis. The transition from a reverse stage--alcoholic steatosis--to alcoholic hepatitis was accompanied by a sharp increase in the total glycogen content and by an obvious change in the ratio of glycogen fractions, towards the hard soluble fraction in liver cells. The quantitative analysis of glycogen fractions in liver cells of patients with chronic alcoholic disease may be an appreciated marker of differential diagnostics of different stages and forms of alcoholic liver disease. 相似文献

The size-distribution of liver glycogen was shown to be distinctly affected by the anti-inflammatory drugs salicylate and indomethacin. By measurement of the incorporation of radioactive glucose into glycogen, salicylate was shown to have a depressing effect on overall liver glycogen metabolism. These effects appear to arise from the stabilizing of the lysosome by the drugs. The incorporation, via liposomes, of purified anti-1,4-alpha-glucosidase activity and in the content of high-molecular-weight glycogen. These changes are increased by prolonged liposomal antibody treatment and suggest that a possible feedback control mechanism operates in the incorporation of glycogen into lysosomes. These experiments may be useful as a model of glycogen turnover and its failure in glycogenosis type II (Pompe's disease). 相似文献

Glycogen is a branched polymer of glucose that serves as an energy store. Phosphate, a trace constituent of glycogen, has profound effects on glycogen structure, and phosphate hyperaccumulation is linked to Lafora disease, a fatal progressive myoclonus epilepsy that can be caused by mutations of laforin, a glycogen phosphatase. However, little is known about the metabolism of glycogen phosphate. We demonstrate here that the biosynthetic enzyme glycogen synthase, which normally adds glucose residues to glycogen, is capable of incorporating the β-phosphate of its substrate UDP-glucose at a rate of one phosphate per approximately 10,000 glucoses, in what may be considered a catalytic error. We show that the phosphate in glycogen is present as C2 and C3 phosphomonoesters. Since hyperphosphorylation of glycogen causes Lafora disease, phosphate removal by laforin may thus be considered a repair or damage control mechanism. 相似文献
