Gardening 101: Japanese Maple Trees. Elegant, colorful Japanese Maple trees are so easy to grow they deserve a special place in every garden. Both graceful and versatile, Japanese maple trees (Acer palmatum) are the chameleons of the plant world. Some leaf out in brilliant reds in spring, change to green by summer, and finish the fall in yellows and oranges. Others start red and stay red till their leaves drop in autumn, revealing their sculptural forms.
Glycogen storage disease. Glycogen storage disease (GSD, also glycogenosis and dextrinosis) is the result of defects in the processing of glycogen synthesis or breakdown within muscles, liver, and other cell types. GSD has two classes of cause: genetic and acquired.
In addition, although the glycogen storage diseases are attributed to specific enzyme deficiencies, other events can cause the same characteristic symptoms. For example, Type I glycogen storage disease (von Gierke disease) is attributed to lack of glucose-6-phosphatase.lycogen is a polymer of glucose residues linked by Î±-(1,4)- and Î±-(1,6)-glycosidic bonds. A second major source of stored glucose is the glycogen of skeletal muscle. However, muscle glycogen is not generally available to other tissues, because muscle lacks the enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase.
