Enzymatic microanalysis of glycogen. 1986

B P Brodal, and B B Gehrken

A specific and simple enzymatic method for the determination of glycogen in tissue, with a detection limit of about 1 microgram glycogen (6.2 nmol glucosyl residues) is described. Glycogen is converted to 6-phosphogluconate by means of amyloglucosidase, hexokinase, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. The increase in NADPH is measured fluorometrically. Muscle tissue (5-20 mg) is hydrolysed in hot KOH (5.4 mol/l), neutralized and analysed. The glycogen-glucosyl content in wet rat diaphragm muscle is about 43 mmol/kg.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
