A HISTOCHEMICAL STUDY OF THE INCORPORATION OF GLUCOSE C 14 INTO GLYCOGEN BY LIVER SLICES IN VITRO

The in vitro formation of glycogen from d-glucose-C¹⁴ has been studied by histochemical and autoradiographic techniques. The incorporation of the radioactive glucose into acid soluble glycogen lends support to the suggestion that this is the only glycogen fraction that is demonstrated histochemically. These experiments also confirm the validity of the histochemical tests for glycogen.
