  • Title: [Dynamics of glycogen content in the normal and cirrhotic liver following glucose administration to starving rats].
    Author: Bezborodkina NN, Kudriavtseva MV, Okovityĭ SV, Nilova VK, Kudriavtsev BN.
    Journal: Tsitologiia; 2003; 45(10):1019-26. PubMed ID: 14989174.
    Abstract:
    Using biochemical, cytofluorimetric and television cytophotometric methods, glycogen contents were studied in normal and cirrhotic rat liver at various intervals after glucose administration to fasting animals. The obtained data indicate that after a 48 h fasting glycogen contents in normal and cirrhotic liver are equally poor. A marked rise of glycogen content in cirrhotic liver was observed only 20-30 min after glucose administration to rats. It has been established that at all intervals after glucose administration to rats hepatocytes of the portal lobule zone, both in normal and in cirrhotic liver, accumulate more glycogen than those of the central zone. Again, the intensity of glycogen accumulation in cirrhotically altered liver is significantly lower than in normal liver, due, presumably, to a lower rate of glycogen synthesis in pathologically changed liver.
