Glycogen level of liver

• As a meal containing carbohydrates is eaten and
  digested,
• blood glucose levels rise
• pancreas secretes insulin.
• Glucose from the portal vein enters the liver
  cells (hepatocytes).
• Insulin acts on the hepatocytes to stimulate the
  action of several enzymes, including glycogen
  synthase.
• Glucose molecules are added to the chains of
  glycogen as long as both insulin and glucose
  remain plentiful. In this postprandial or "fed"
  state, the liver takes in more glucose from the
  blood than it releases.
• .

• After a meal has been digested and glucose levels
  begin to fall, insulin secretion is reduced, and
  glycogen synthesis stops.
• About four hours after glycogen begins to be
  broken down and converted again to glucose.

Von Gierkes Disease
Glucose 6-phosphatase liver and kidney
Here is another liver with a pale, bulging
surface. This time the liver is filled with
glycogen in von Gierke's disease, the glycogen
storage disease of children. Severly enlarged
liver, severe hypoglycemia, lactic acidosis,
ketosis, hyperuricemia, hyperlipemia
29
POMPE'S DISEASE
When mannose 6-phosphate tags are added to acid
maltase enzyme molecules, the molecules stick
to receptors (docking sites) on the muscle
cells and are carried deeper inside the cells,
where they're needed.
Without mannose 6-phosphate tags, acid
maltase (1,4-D-Glucosidase) enzyme molecules
can't enter muscle cells from the bloodstream.
ENZYME TREATMENT BENEFITS BABIES WITH POMPE'S
DISEASE Babies with a metabolic muscle disorder
known as Pompe's disease, or acid maltase
deficiency, usually don't survive infancy because
they lack a vital enzyme that normally breaks
down glycogen in the heart and skeletal muscle
cells. Cardiac failure in infancy liver,

Forbes disease, Type III glycogenosis

• also called Cori's disease , or glycogenosis type
  III  rare hereditary disease in which the the
  metabolic breakdown of glycogen to the simple
  sugar glucose is incomplete, allowing
  intermediate compounds to accumulate in the cells
  of the liver. Affected persons lack the enzyme
  amylo-1,6-glucosidase, one of several enzymes
  involved in glycogen breakdown. Children with the
  disease have enlarged livers (which usually

Andersens disease

• also called Glycogenosis Type Iv,   extremely
  rare hereditary metabolic disorder produced by
  absence of the enzyme amylo-14,16-transglucosida
  se (branching enzyme), which is an essential
  mediator of the synthesis of glycogen. An
  abnormal form of glycogen, amylopectin, is
  produced and accumulates in body tissues,
  particularly in the liver and heart. Affected
  children appear normal at birth but fail to
  thrive and later lose
