Abstract excerpt
Type 2 diabetes is characterised by elevated blood glucose concentrations, which potentially could be normalised by stimulation of hepatic glycogen synthesis. Under glycogenolytic conditions, the interaction of hepatic glycogen-associated protein phosphatase-1 (PP1-G(L)) with glycogen phosphorylase a is believed to inhibit the dephosphorylation and activation of glycogen synthase (GS) by the PP1-G(L) complex,...
