Abstract

Hines and Knowlton1,2 have demonstrated a decrease of muscular glycogen levels after denervation. The biochemical mechanism underlying this phenomenon, however, is not clearly understood. It does not seem to be explained by an activation of phosphorolytic processes, as phosphorylase was shown by Huls and Leonard3 to decrease in the skeletal muscle after nerve transection.
