  2. Inborn errors of carbohydrate metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inborn_errors_of...

    Glycogenesis is the metabolic pathway in which glycogen is created. Glycogen, which consists of branched long chains made out of the simple sugar glucose , is an energy storage form for carbohydrates in many human cells; this is most important in liver , muscle and certain brain cells .

  3. Glycogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycogenesis

    Glycogenesis is the process of glycogen synthesis or the process of converting glucose into glycogen in which glucose molecules are added to chains of glycogen for storage. This process is activated during rest periods following the Cori cycle , in the liver , and also activated by insulin in response to high glucose levels .

    Conversely, glycogenesis is enhanced and glycogenolysis inhibited when there are high levels of insulin in the blood. [ 15 ] The level of circulatory glucose (known informally as "blood sugar"), as well as the detection of nutrients in the Duodenum is the most important factor determining the amount of glucagon or insulin produced.

  5. Cori cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cori_cycle

    Cori cycle. The Cori cycle (also known as the lactic acid cycle), named after its discoverers, Carl Ferdinand Cori and Gerty Cori, [1] is a metabolic pathway in which lactate, produced by anaerobic glycolysis in muscles, is transported to the liver and converted to glucose, which then returns to the muscles and is cyclically metabolized back to lactate.

  6. Glycogen synthase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycogen_synthase

    Glycogen synthase (UDP-glucose-glycogen glucosyltransferase) is a key enzyme in glycogenesis, the conversion of glucose into glycogen. It is a glycosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.11) that catalyses the reaction of UDP-glucose and (1,4-α-D-glucosyl) n to yield UDP and (1,4-α-D-glucosyl) n+1.

  7. Inborn errors of metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inborn_errors_of_metabolism

    Inborn errors of metabolism form a large class of genetic diseases involving congenital disorders of enzyme activities. [1] The majority are due to defects of single genes that code for enzymes that facilitate conversion of various substances into others ().

  8. UTP—glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTP—glucose-1-phosphate...

    UTP—glucose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase is an enzyme found in all three domains (bacteria, eukarya, and archaea) as it is a key player in glycogenesis and cell wall synthesis. Its role in sugar metabolism has been studied extensively in plants in order to understand plant growth and increase agricultural production.

  9. Glycogen storage disease type 0 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycogen_storage_disease...

    Glycogen storage disease type 0 is a disease characterized by a deficiency in the glycogen synthase enzyme (GSY). Although glycogen synthase deficiency does not result in storage of extra glycogen in the liver, it is often classified as a glycogen storage disease because it is another defect of glycogen storage and can cause similar problems.
