Changes in particular glycogen populations of the nerve terminals of Torpedo electric organ stimulated to fatigue in vitro.
Stimulation to fatigue of Torpedo electric organ fragments in partial anoxic conditions induces a loss of particular glycogen associated with the nerve terminals. These results show that the metabolic requirements imposed by the process of bioelectrogenesis in anoxia involve the utilisation glycogen.
