The effect of glypondin on glycogen and protein accumulation in rat organs
Nutrition and Metabolism
|January 1, 1977
Abstract:
Rats were treated for 21 days with 20, 30 and 40 mg/kg Glypondin dissolved in the drinking water. The weight-increasing effect of Glypondin was studied in rat organs. In the liver a significant rise in the concentration of TCA-soluble glycogen was demonstrated. In the myocardium and m. gastrocnemius the concentration of both the labile and glycogen was unchanged. In the m. gastrocnemius of rats treated with Glypondin a significant rise in the concentration of noncollagenous protein was demonstrated.
