Der Kohlenhydratstoffwechsel in der Hypoxie. II. Glykogen- und Phosphatumsatz in Leber und Muskel

Abstract

Under normal O2 pressure, adm. of 0.5 g. glucose to rats caused a transient rise in the hexose monophosphate of muscle; in O2 deficiency (6000 m.) this rise was absent. There was no change in muscle glycogen after adm. of glucose or in O2 deficiency, but liver glycogen was greatly increased in both normal and O2 deficient rats and this was associated with a sharp decline in inorganic P and an increase in organic P. In O2 deficiency the conversion of administered amino acids to sugar was difficult.
