Hepatocytes were isolated from human liver tissue by a two-step perfusion technique. They were treated with vasopressin, angiotensin, ATP and phenylephrine, which are known to be Ca2 + -mediated glycogenolytic agents in rat liver tissue, and as a control, they were treated with the cyclic AMP-mediat

6-phosphate values have been computed for mixtures of discrete forms ofglycogen synthase. From these calculated values and by inspection of the ensuing graphs an assessment can be made of the usefulness and limitations of I/D relationships and A,,,, values as indices of the activation state of glyco
Previously, we demonstrated that deoxycholic acid (DCA)-induced ERK1/2 and AKT signaling in primary hepatocytes is a protective response. In the present study, we examined the regulation of the phosphatidylinositol 3 (PI3) kinase/AKT/glycogen synthase (kinase) 3 (GSK3)/glycogen synthase (GS) pathway
Lithium ion, like insulin, activated adipocyte glycogen synthase with or without glucose in the medium. However, the effect of lithium ion was much greater than that of insulin under both conditions. The lithium-activated glycogen synthase was stable to both Sephadex chromatography and ethanol preci
