glycogenic, a.|glaɪkəʊˈdʒɛnɪk, glɪkəʊ-| Also glu-. [f. as glycogen + -ic.] Of or pertaining to the formation of sugar (or of glycogen from sugar), as in the animal body. glycogenic acid (see quot. 1889). glycogenic matter: glycogen.
1859Fownes' Man. Chem. 566 The glycogenic matter passes through a state corresponding to dextrin into sugar. 1860N. Syd. Soc. Year-bk. 1859. 86 Glucogenic matter. 1864W. B. Carpenter Princ. Human Physiol. (ed. 6) ix. 387 It appears that another purpose is fulfilled by the Liver—the production of an amyloid substance termed Glycogen; and we shall now proceed to consider the chief facts..in reference to this so-called ‘Glycogenic function of the Liver’. 1873A. Flint Jr. Phys. Man, Nerv. Syst. viii. 243 The view which we have advanced with regard to the glycogenic function is that the liver is constantly producing sugar during life. 1889Muir & Morley Watts' Dict. Chem., Glycogenic acid. Formed by treating an aqueous solution of glycogen at 100° with bromine, and then adding Ag2O... Very acid syrup. Is perhaps identical with gluconic acid. 1900Dorland Med. Dict. 282/1, Glycogenic, pertaining to glycogenesis or to glycogen. 1913Proc. Roy. Soc. B. LXXXVI. 560 The liver will be found to contain only traces of glycogen. This effect is due to an inhibition of the glycogenic function of the liver. 1926J. J. R. Macleod Carbohydrate Metabolism & Insulin xi. 159 In the strict sense, the term glycogenic should be restricted to the formation of glycogen from protein (and fat) and its breakdown to sugar, rather than to the polymerisation of sugar itself into that substance. So glycoˈgenesis, the production or formation of sugar (or of glycogen from sugar), as in the animal body; glycogeˈnetic, glyˈcogenous adjs., ? = glycogenic; glyˈcogeny = glycogenesis (above).
1869E. A. Parkes Pract. Hygiene (ed. 3) 161 A glycogenous substance may also be derived from albuminates. 1872Thudichum Chem. Phys. 8 The glycogenetic function of the liver. 1886Syd. Soc. Lex., Glycogenesis. 1888Huxley & Martin Elem. Biol. 311 note, Similar glycogenous cells are met with in the walls of the lacunar spaces and on the ‘mesenteries’ of the Snail. 1889Webster's Dict., Glycogeny. 1897Lippincott's Med. Dict. 434/2 Glycogenesis, the formation of sugar, or of glycogen. 1900Dorland Med. Dict. 282/1, Glycogenesis, the production of sugar or of glycogen. 1970W. V. Thorpe et al. Biochem. (ed. 9) xix. 251 The reactions involved in muscle glycogenesis are the same as those in liver glycogenesis. |
