The significance of the activity of glycogen debranching enzyme in glycolysis in porcine and bovine muscles

Abstract: The purpose of the study was to examine the activity of glycogen debranching enzyme, GDE, in porcine and bovine muscles differing in rate of contraction and in oxidative capacity. The activity of GDE, the activity of phosphorylase, total glucose content, lactate content and pH were measured from meat samples taken 35 min post-mortem and ultimate pH 24 or 48 h post-mortem.Both GDE and phosphorylase are needed for the complete degradation of glycogen. In porcine muscles the activities of these glycogen degrading… Show more

“…Additionally, during glycogenolysis some part of free glucose was liberated by glycogen debranching enzyme that hydrolyses α1‐6 bonds of glucosyl branches (Kylä‐Puhju and others ). The results of the study of Ylä‐Ajos and others (, ) showed that activity of phosphorylase and glycogen debranching enzyme as well as the relation between these enzymes depend on animal species, muscle, and RN genotype, and affect the ultimate pH of muscle. Zhu and others () stated that many authors have treated glycogen phosphorylase as a crucial index, which could indicate the presence of PSE meat in turkey and pork.…”

“…This situation is different in cattle, since it has been demonstrated that the GDE activity in cattle is lower than in pigs, measured in L. dorsi (Ylä-Ajos, Ruusunen, & Puolanne, 2006). Also, according to the results obtained by Du et al (2005) and Liang, Yang, Zhuc, Jina, and Du (2013) on AMPK knockout mice, using also mice with β-adrenergic blockers and subjected to exercise, when compared with normal rats, AMPK would participate from the start of the postmortem anaerobic glycolysis and would have direct effect on the final muscle pH 24 (higher) in AMPK knockout mice subjected to exercise.…”

“…The reduction in pH during the post mortem process is a result of muscle effort to maintain constant the levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Therefore, the available energy reserves in the form of muscle glycogen begin to be metabolized via anaerobic glycolysis, forming lactate, and their accumulation in the tissue favors a gradual decrease in intramuscular pH (Ylä-Ajos et al, 2006).…”
