		he implications for the work of Gerty and Carl Cori on carbohydrate metabolism are so well known in our culture that any normal jock can tell you the importance of carbohydrates in the generation of energy in the mammalian body.
		Carl described her as follows: "She was a fellow student, a young woman who had charm, vitality, intelligence, a sense of humor, and love of the outdoors, qualities which immediately attracted me." They married in 1920 after graduating earlier that year with Doctorates in Medicine.
		In 1931 Carl was appointed Professor and Chairman of the Department of Pharmacology at Washington University Medical School in St. Louis and Gerty accepted a position as Research Associate in that Department at a token salary.

	Women in Chemistry: Gerty Cori
		Gerty Theresa Radnitz Cori (1896–1957) and her husband, Carl Ferdinand Cori, identified the cyclical process that muscle cells use to make and store energy.
		Cori and her husband were great scienctific collaborators, and their collaborations in biochemistry ultimately won them the 1947 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, making Cori the first American woman to win a Nobel Prize.
		Carl left for America first, having accepted a job at the State Institute for the Study of Malignant Diseases in Buffalo, New York, in 1922.

		EUROPE (1896-1922) Carl Cori never regretted leaving Europe at the age of twenty-five to come to the United States and grew to be thoroughly at ease with the language, institutions, and customs of his chosen country.
		Carl and Gerty Cori contributed an essential part and in so doing were among the pioneers who showed that biochemical investigations of isolated enzyme systems could lead to an understanding of physiological processes.
		But happily for the Cori experiments, in their method of muscle preparation, much of the Mg 2+ was "washed out." They suggested that, contrary to earlier notions, blood glucose in the liver is regulated by the sequential action of three enzymes: glycogen phosphorylase, phosphoglucomutase, and glucose-6-phosphatase—a sequence confirmed by their later work (1939,1).

		Dr. Carl Ferdinand Cori, who with his late wife Gerty Theresa Radnitz won the 1947 Nobel Prize in medicine and physiology, died yesterday in his Cambridge home.
		Dr. Cori and his wife, who died in 1957, met in medical school at the University of Prague and were married a few months after their graduation.
		By the 1960s, Dr. Cori's research dealt with the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism in muscles and the liver, and with the effects of such hormones as insulin and epinephrine on this metabolic cycle.

	Research on carbohydrate metabolism receives historical recognition
		Carl Cori summed up the nature of their partnership in his remarks at the Nobel banquet in 1947: "Our collaboration began 30 years ago when we were still medical students at the University of Prague and has continued ever since.
		Carl and Gerty Cori, who won the Nobel in Physiology or Medicine in 1947, observed what became known as the "Cori cycle," the process by which the body converts glucose into glycogen, the form in which sugar is stored.
		Research by Carl and Gerty Cori exploring how the human body metabolizes glucose will be designated a National Historic Chemical Landmark in a special ceremony at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis on Sept. 21.

		Carl and Gerty Cori were American biochemists, husband and wife team who discovered the activated intermediate, glucose-1-phosphate, known as the Cori ester, which represents the first step in the conversion into glucose of the animal storage carbohydrate glycogen.
		Later, they identified the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the glycogen-Cori ester reaction and described the Cori cycle, postulating that liver glycogen is converted to blood glucose that is reconverted to glycogen in the muscles, where its breakdown to lactic acid provides the energy for muscle contraction.
		He made a controversial suggestion that sperm of gifted men be frozen and preserved as part of a purposeful program of eugenics for future generations.

		By 1947, the Cori’s lab was alive with the study of enzymes.

	Cori, Gerty Theresa Radnitz
		Their discoveries brought the Coris the 1947 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine (shared with Bernardo A. Houssay of Argentina); Gerty Cori was the first American woman to receive a Nobel Prize in the sciences.
		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 favoring 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.
		Proof of the interconversion allowed them to formulate the "Cori cycle," postulating that liver glycogen is converted to blood glucose that is reconverted to glycogen in muscle, where its breakdown to lactic acid provides the energy utilized in muscle contraction.

		In 1947, she and her husband, Carl F. Cori, shared the prize with Argentine researcher Bernardo A. Houssay for their studies of carbohydrate metabolism, the process by which the body changes such foods as sugars and starches into energy.
		In 1931, Carl Cori accepted the chairmanship of a department at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, and Gerty Cori became a research associate there.
		The Coris focused on how the body stores excess carbohydrates in the form of a starchlike compound called glycogen and then, when energy is needed, turns glycogen back into a form that the cells can use.
