[Glycogen content and glucose-6-phosphatase activity in the ligated frog ischiatic nerve].

Glycogen content and glucose-6-phosphatase activity were determined in the both proximal and distal parts of the ligatured ischiadicus nerve of the frog. The results show that endogenous glycogen stores (or derived from them glucose) can move along the nerve and can be utilised in ischiadicus nerve metabolism. These data support our earlier findings that glycogen biosynthesis depends on glucose-6-phosphatase activity.
