Abstract
In small rats deprived of food for 19 h (or 43 h), 36% (or 39%) of the glycogen that disappeared was lost from the carcass and 64% (or 61%) from liver. Carcass glycogen is potentially a substantial source of glucose during short-term starvation via the Cori cycle.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
