Abstract
THE lowering of glycogen store in normal animal tissues during the growth of a transplanted hepatoma and the absence of glycogen in neoplastic tissues are commonly observed phenomena. The complex processes which result in removal of glycogen from normal tissues during the growth of a transplanted tumour are not fully understood. However, evidence is available for low glycogen formation in tumours and is based mainly on the assumption of a defective system of glycogen synthesis1,2.
