Tests
A measurement of glycogen normalized for tissue water volume, in a sample.
Technology
This is an all-round useful stain for many things, including glycogen, mucin, mucoprotein, glycoprotein, as well as fungi. The reaction is based on the oxidation of glycol group to aldehydes by periodate. The schiff's reagent selectively stains the aldehydes to a rose pink color. PAS is useful for outlining tissue structures--basement membranes, capsules, blood vessels, etc.
Indicators
This gene is involved in signal transduction and negative regulation of apoptosis. It also plays a role in glucose transport, glycogen synthesis, protein synthesis and neuronal survival.
Indicators
Amylase is an enzyme which helps digest glycogen and starch. It is produced mainly in the pancreas and salivary glands.
Tests
The determination of the amount of glycogen phosphorylase isoenzyme BB present in a sample.
Indicators
A water-soluble vitamin belonging to the vitamin B family, which occurs in many animal and plant tissues, with antihyperlipidemic activity. Niacin is converted to its active form niacinamide, which is a component of the coenzymes nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) and its phosphate form, NADP. These coenzymes play an important role in tissue respiration and in glycogen, lipid, amino acid, protein, and purine metabolism. Although the exact mechanism of action by which niacin lowers cholesterol is not fully understood, it may act by inhibiting the synthesis of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), inhibiting the release of free fatty acids from adipose tissue, increasing lipoprotein lipase activity, and reducing the hepatic synthesis of VLDL-C and LDL-C.
