Cellular and molecular biology, 1992•europepmc.orgA histochemical study of some enzymes of glucose metabolism was performed on the heart
conduction system of rat, dog, rabbit, pig, calf and lamb. Histochemical activities revealed a
higher rate of anaerobic metabolism and a lower rate of aerobic metabolism in the
conducting cells in comparison with the working myocardial fibres. An increase of the
histochemical activities from the atrioventricular node to the distal portions of bundle
branches was noted. The importance of the high glycogen content and the high …

The importance of the high glycogen content and the high phosphorylase activity in the heart conduction system was discussed.
