Researchers discover that glycogen and N-linked glycans accumulate in fibrotic regions of the lung and may be important for therapy development. Ramon Sun, a biochemist at the University of Florida ...

Hepatic glucose metabolism encompasses several catabolic and anabolic fluxes that have distinct modes of hepatocyte-autonomous (direct) and hepatocyte- non-autonomous (indirect) regulatory mechanisms ...

Glycogen has been linked to diverse processes, the most recent of which is its role in disease progression and ageing. Studies in Caenorhabditis elegans have revealed that high sugar diets which ...

The lung is a metabolically active organ that is engaged in secretion, clearance and other maintenance functions that require reducing potential, energy and substrates for biosynthesis. These ...

A previously unknown metabolic pathway has been found to regulate energy expenditure and heat production in fat cells. This pathway, which emerged in a new study led by scientists at the University of ...
