Sugar Nutrition UK and water was 'as good as a glucose and water' at maintaining liver glycogen stores during prolonged exercise. Sugar Nutrition UK Sugar Nutrition UK formerly the British Sugar Bureau was a lobby group for the British sugar industry. Dr Alison Boyd is the director of the organisation. She says, in reply to proposals to tax sugar that "Singling out sugar may seem a simple, quick fix solution but risks ignoring many other factors that can contribute to lifestyle diseases.” According to the organisation "Sugar consumption in the UK has declined whilst obesity and diabetes rates have increased".

Glycogen synthase asymmetric form, glycogen synthase is found as a dimer, whose monomers are composed of two Rossmann-fold domains. This structural property, among others, is shared with related enzymes, such as glycogen phosphorylase and other glycosyltransferases of the GT-B superfamily. Nonetheless, a more recent characterization of the "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" (yeast) glycogen synthase crystal structure reveals that the dimers may actually interact to form a tetramer. Specifically, The inter-subunit interactions are mediated by the α15/16 helix pairs, forming allosteric sites between subunits in one combination of dimers and active sites between subunits in the other combination of dimers. Since the structure of eukaryotic
