CARL FERDINAND CORI and GERTY THERESA CORI, née RADNITZ
Studying the way in which hormones affect carbohydrate metabolism in animals, the Coris showed that epinephrine induces the formation of a type of phosphorylase enzyme favouring conversion of glycogen to activated glucose and that insulin causes the removal of sugar from the blood by promoting the addition of phosphate to glucose.

Today's Honorary Subscriber is the Czech-American biochemist Gerty Theresa Cori (1896-1957), who shared the 1947 Nobel Prize for Physiology/Medicine with her husband and research partner Carl Cori along with Bernardo A. Houssay of Argentina.
The Coris had worked as a husband-and-wife team in the discovery of the biochemical steps through which glycogen, or stored sugar, is converted into the glucose that cells use in producing energy.
They formulated the "Cori cycle," postulating that liver glycogen is converted to blood glucose that is then reconverted to glycogen in muscle, where its breakdown to lactic acid provides the energy utilized in muscle contraction.
