glycogenic

Bernard, of the liver's glycogenic function, i.e. of the important part played by the liver in the metabolism of sugar in the body.

His studies on the glycogenic functions of the liver opened the way for the modern fruitful researches on the internal secretions of the various glands.

This was followed by the discovery of the glycogenic function of the liver — perhaps his most noteworthy achievement, particularly on account of its bearing on current views in biology.

As regards the ductless glands, the first clew to their function was given when the great Frenchman Claude Bernard (the man of whom his admirers loved to say, "He is not a physiologist merely; he is physiology itself") discovered what is spoken of as the glycogenic function of the liver.

This capacity of the liver cells is quite independent of the bile-making power of the same cells; hence the discovery of this glycogenic function showed that an organ may have more than one pronounced and important specific function.

He discovered the glycogenic function of the liver, and proved that in addition to secreting bile, that organ stores up glycogen from the sugar absorbed in the stomach and intestines, and gives it out again as sugar to the blood.

In seeking for the fountain-head of diabetic sugar, it is found that the liver is the great glycogenic, or sugar-originating factory of the body.

His studies on the glycogenic functions of the liver opened the way for the modern fruitful researches on the internal secretions of the various glands.

(glycogenic function of the liver, the consumption of glycogen through work of the muscles, the discovery of vascular nerves, the chemistry of the bile and the urine, theory of diabetes mellitus, assimiliation of sugar, atrophy of the pancreas, the power of the pancreatic juice to digest albumen, and the theory of animal heat).
