Abstract:SThe assay of glycogen debranching activity by measurement of the release of glucose from phosphorylase limit dextrin (PLO), W P '. originally used for assay of enzyme activity in muscle and iver tissue. Results are corrected for the presence of nonspecific glucosidases by subtraction of the activity obtained with glycogen as substrate. When assays are performed on muscle or liver, the activity obtained with glycogen is very low and its exact nature is not of practical importance. The widespread use of blood c… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
