β¦ Synopsis
Liver glycogen synthase b phosphatase, chromatographically separable from phosphorylase a phosphatase, is decreased in 48-hour alloxan diabetic rats. The phosphatase activities are measured in an in vitro system using exogenous isolated phospho-enzyme as substrates with added phosphatases. Synthase and phosphorylase phosphatases were shown to have differential catalytic properties by their reactivity in the presence of Pi, the heat-stable inhibitor of phosphorylase phosphatase and after incubation with added cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

Acute physical exercise usually enhances insulin sensitivity. We examined the effect of a competitive 42 km marathon run on glucose uptake and lipid oxidation in 7 runners with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), aged 36 +/- 3 yr, BMI 23.9 +/- 0.5 kg m-2, VO2max 46 +/- 1 ml kg-1 min-1, HbA1c
## Abstract ## Background Hepatic insulin gene therapy (HIGT) produces nearβnormal glycemia in diabetic rats. Hepatic insulin production is expected to stimulate glycogen storage. However, the effect of HIGT on hepatic glycogen metabolism __in vivo__ is unknown. ## Methods After administration o
