More than a store: regulatory roles for glycogen in skeletal muscle adaptation to exercise
The glycogen content of muscle determines not only our capacity for exercise but also the
signaling events that occur in response to exercise. The result of the shift in signaling is that …

Acid hydrolysis and molecular density of phytoglycogen and liver glycogen helps understand the bonding in glycogen α (composite) particles
Phytoglycogen (from certain mutant plants) and animal glycogen are highly branched
glucose polymers with similarities in structural features and molecular size range. Both …
