(05 Mar 2000) |
| Cori ester | An important intermediate in glycogenesis and glycogenolysis. Synonym: Cori ester. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Cori's disease | Glycogenosis due to amylo-1,6-glucosidase deficiency, resulting in accumulation of abnormal glycogen with short outer chains in liver and muscle. Synonym: Cori's disease, debranching deficiency limit dextrinosis, limit dextrinosis, Forbes' disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
