Gierke disease (glycogenosis) arises in the inherited defect of glucose-6- phosphatase and is accompanied by swelling of liver and hypoglycemia in postabsorptive period. Why does a fasting blood glucose level of patients fall sharply in the morning? To answer this question: a) draw the scheme of the mobilization of the main reserve homopolysaccharide involving glucose-6-phosphatase in a healthy person and indicate the localization of this process in the organism; b) explain the role of this metabolic pathway.
