Glycogen

Blocking glycogen synthase 1 in white adipose tissue alleviates hypermetabolism following severe burn injury through inhibition of JAK2 by UDPG.

Browning of white adipose tissue (WAT) contributes to the sustained hypermetabolism observed in patients with burns. How glycogen metabolism in WAT is linked to burn-induced hypermetabolism remains unknown. We discover that burn-induced UCP1 expression in subcutaneous WAT is accompanied by...

Impact of Long-Term Fasting on Skeletal Muscle: Structure, Energy Metabolism and Function Using P/H MRS and MRI.

Fasting shows promise for public health, but concerns about muscle loss hinder its acceptance, particularly among the elderly. We explored the impact of long-term fasting (12 days, 250 kcal/day) on muscle structure, metabolism and performance. We prospectively assessed muscle volume, composition, relaxometry...

Metabolomic analysis of dietary-restriction-induced attenuation of sarcopenia in prematurely aging DNA repair-deficient mice.

Sarcopenia is characterized by loss of skeletal muscle mass and function, and is a major risk factor for disability and independence in the elderly. Effective medication is not available. Dietary restriction (DR) has been found to attenuate aging and aging-related...
