Dam and associates showed in chicken a nutritional deficiency characterized by hemorrhage and increased clotting time.
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.
