GLYCOGEN SYNTHESIS FROM GLUCOSE, GLUCOSE-6-PHOSPHATE, AND URIDINE DIPHOSPHATE GLUCOSE IN MUSCLE PREPARATIONS

Abstract
The problem of muscle glycogen synthesis may be explained in terms of a uridine diphosphate glucose (UDPG) pathway. In their experiments the authors describe results with the pigeon breast muscle homogenate, and give preliminary data on the rabbit and rat skeletal muscle system which synthesizes glycogen from UDPG.
