Abstract
Glycogen was determined in the skeletal muscles of rat after exposure to several salts of mercury, cadmium, zinc, copper, molybdenum, lead, cobalt and manganese. Treatment with these metals depleted muscle glycogen except in the case of copper and zinc. The causes and significance of the changes involved are discussed.
