[Subcellular localization of glycogen-UDP-glucosyltransferase in the hepatocytes of intact and fasting rats].

Electron microscope cytochemical techniques by Takeuchi et al. were used to study the localization of glycogen-UDP-glucosyl-transferase (GUDPG) in hepatocytes of intact and fasting rats. Glycogen was found in the cytoplasm, nuclei, mitochondria, microbodies and lysosomes of the hepatocytes of intact and fasting animals after special cytochemical procedures for determination of GUDPG.
