  Glycogen Metabolism
In the case of muscle cells this is acutely apparent since the purpose in glycogenolysis in muscle cells is to generate substrate for glycolysis.
This means that theroretically glycogenolysis occurring in skeletal muscle could generate free glucose which could enter the blood stream.
This activity is crucial to the enhancement of glycogenolysis in muscle cells where muscle contraction is induced via acetylcholine stimulation at the neuromuscular junction.

 A Novel Assay for Evaluating Glycogenolysis in Rat Adipocytes and the Inability of Insulin To Antagonize Glycogenolysis ...
The extent of glycogenolysis is determined by the decrease in radioactivity in precipitated glycogen, which was quite substantial under experimental conditions facilitating glycogenolysis.
(c) Glycogenolysis (as opposed to lipolysis) is activated at concentrations of adrenocorticotropic hormone or isoproterenol 7-11-fold lower and at adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate concentrations 7-fold lower.
In conclusion, the assay allowed us to compare glycogenolysis to lipolysis within the same cell, and to find that the sensitivity to hormones and adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate was about 1 order of magnitude higher for glycogenolysis than for lipolysis.

 Influence of aging on the beta- and glucagon-receptor-mediated glycogenolysis in rat hepatocytes.
The influence of aging on beta-receptor and glucagon-receptor control of glycogenolysis was investigated in rat hepatocytes.
In contrast, glucagon-stimulated glycogenolysis, similar in mature and senescent rats, was independent on extracellular Ca2+ and was unaffected by PMA.
We conclude that the beta-receptor component in the adrenergic regulation of glycogenolysis in senescent rats consists of a major Ca(2+)-independent and a minor Ca(2+)-dependent part, displaying different sensitivity towards protein kinase C (PKC), Ca(2+)-antagonists, and insulin.

 Abstract: 618
Glycogen synthesis was induced with insulin and glucose and subsequently basal and glucagon-stimulated glycogenolysis was measured.
Likewise, the inhibitory effect of Isofagomine was not potentiated in the presence of either glucose or caffeine; glucose antagonized the effect of Isofagomine.
Inhibition of glycogenolysis is a potential means whereby the overproduction of glucose by the liver in the diabetic state may be reversed.

Phosphorylase is studied for its central role in glycogenolysis and as a model for the allosteric control of enzymes.
This activity is almost twice that of the phosphorylase a activity measured in the CK muscle extracts after contraction, indicating that the measured phosphorylase a activity was insufficient to account for the observed rate of glycogen breakdown.

 Beta adrenergic regulation of rat liver glycogenolysis during aging.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Studies from a number of laboratories demonstrate a biphasic change in beta adrenergic regulation of hepatic glycogenolysis over the life span of the male rat.
The prevailing view that catecholamines stimulate hepatic glycogenolysis by an alpha adrenergic receptor-mediated, cyclic AMP-independent mechanism is based almost entirely on evidence from young adult male rats.
We propose that current concepts of alpha adrenergic-responsive liver glycogenolysis underestimate a physiological role for beta adrenergic responsiveness over the majority of the life span.

 Erowid.org: Erowid Reference 6393 : The relationship between hyperthermia and glycogenolysis in ...
Although the exact mechanisms involved in the serotonergic neurotoxicity produced by substituted amphetamines are not completely known, evidence suggests that oxidative and/or bioenergetic stress may contribute in the mechanism of neurotoxicity of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA).
The relationship of MDMA-induced hyperthermia and glycogenolysis in the serotonergic neurotoxicity of MDMA was investigated in the present study.
The administration of MDMA (20 mg/kg sc) at an ambient temperature of 24 degrees C produced hyperthermia and brain glycogenolysis in Postnatal Day (PND)21 and PND70 rats; however, long-term reductions in serotonin (5-HT) concentrations in the striatum were detected only in the PND70 rats.

Glycogenolysis: the breakdown of glycogen to supply glucose for glycolysis.
Before ATP-CP stores are depleted, further ATP must be re-synthesized and this occurs during the breakdown (catabolism) of glycogen (the process of glycogenolysis) or glucose (the process of glycolysis) to pyruvic acid and eventually lactic acid.
ATP re-synthesis through either the splitting of CP or glycogenolysis does not require oxygen and is therefore, anaerobic.

 A Computational Model for Glycogenolysis in Skeletal Muscle — CellML
Glycogenolysis is the chemical breakdown of glycogen, the storage form of glucose present in the liver and in muscle.
This has lead to the suggestion that the control of pathway flux may be more dependent on the general cell properties, rather than on the specific properties of the enzymes within the pathway.

GP kinase is activated via the rise in calcium, thus increasing the activation of GP, leading to increased glycogenolysis.
In the muscle, the role of glycogen is to provide a ready store of glucose for combustion via glycolysis to generate ATP for energy.
There are several regulatory systems in muscle to control glycogen metabolism because glycogen in the main fuel for muscle in short-term exercise and the body needs to protect itself from over-accumulation of glycogen in the muscle.

 [Frontiers in Bioscience 3, d1011-1027, September 15, 1998]
The increase in lactate that results from the initial burst of glycogenolysis is followed by a decrease in muscle and blood lactate levels, despite continued muscle contractile activity, as a result of the marked slowing of glycogenolysis (151-154).
It was thought that the rate of glycogenolysis is determined by the frequency of muscle contraction, with release of Ca from the SR during each excitation-contraction coupling resulting in conversion of inactive phosphorylase b to active phosphorylase a and a burst of glycogenolysis (155,157,159,164-166).
It, therefore, seems probable that both the smaller initial burst of glycogenolysis and the slower rate of glycogen breakdown during continuous contractile activity is explained by the lower level of inorganic phosphate attained in trained muscles.

 [7] INDINAVIR INCREASES HEPATIC GLUCOSE PRODUCTION IN HEALTHY HIV-NEGATIVE MEN
This increase was driven by proportional contributions of glycogenolysis (9.5 ±0.3 vs 10.2 ±0.3 µmol/kg*min, P<0.03) and gluconeogenesis (3.0 ±0.2 vs 3 ±0.2 µmol/kg*min, P<0.14).
The increase in glycogenolysis accounted for 75% of the increase in fasting HGP and 96% of the impairment in insulin suppression of HGP seen with indinavir.
Glycogenolysis plays a major role in the increase in HGP in both fasting and hyperinsulinaemia.

The role of adrenaline in regulating muscle glycogenolysis and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) activity during exercise was examined in six adrenaline-deficient bilaterally adrenalectomised, adrenocortico-hormonal-substituted humans (Adr) and in six healthy control individuals (Con).
Although the role of adrenaline in regulation of muscle glycogenolysis in exercise has been emphasized, the quantitative importance of adrenaline is, however, debated.
The aims of the present study, therefore, were to examine the effect of adrenaline on muscle glycogenolysis during exercise, and to determine for the first time the effect of exercise on HSL activity in human skeletal muscle.

 CRISP - Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects, Abstract Display
Hepatic glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis (GNU) are the main sources of glucose 6-P required for EGP.
Since glycogenolysis is considered to be the initial source of hepatic glucose 6-P during the early phase of hypoglycemic counterregulation, followed by activation of GNG, we hypothesize that defects in these two pathways may play a central role in the abnormal hypoglycemia counterregulation seen T1DM patients.
Furthermore, defective glycogenolysis ma account for the impaired EGP responses due to glucose per Se.
