Materials and MethodsMaterials. With thegenerous cooperation of numerous physicians throughout the United States human tissue samples were obtained from patients by biopsy or at autopsy per-formed within 6 hr after death. Care was taken to ensure that the tissues were frozen immediately, either by immersion in liquid nitrogen or by pressing them between blocks of Dry Ice. They were then placed in closed containers to prevent dehydration, and these were packed in Dry Ice and shipped to Saint Louis. Upon arrival, the tissue specimens were transferred to small, plastic bags which were kept frozen in air-tight vials at—90 until used for analysis. The results of repeated assays done at various times have shown that the activities of many enzymes of glycogen metabolism are well maintained for periods of 6 months or longer when human tissues are taken and stored as described above. How-ever, an effort was always made to analyze each tissue sample as promptly as possible after its receipt in the laboratory. The substrates, maltose, isomaltose, and glycogen were obtained and purified as described by Jeffrey et al.(1970a). D-(+)-Trehalose and methyl-D-glucopyranoside were prod-ucts of Sigma Chemical Co.
