Dear Sir
Thanks a lot for repeated cooperation and your valuable suggestions. I could not understand that glucosyl unit containing only glycogen or ester of glycogen (glycogen + glucose). I need to express my result as the concentration of glucose mg / g or glycogen mg/g wet tissue f Read more

Hi Shilpi,
Acid hydrolysis of glycogen will yield glucose monomers, which will be converted further into G-6-P by hexokinase in the kit. The glucosyl unit, as expressed in the equation, refers to a glucose monomer. 1 umole of glucosyl unit is roughly 180ug (D-glucose, MW=180.2).
