Histochemical mechanisms of intracellular glycogen synthesis were dis- 

 cussed and two major pathways utilizing the amylophosphorylase-^-bran- 

 ching enzyme System and the UDPG-pyrophosphorylase-*UDPG-glycogen 

 transferase system were demonstrated histochemically. The specificity 

 of the histochemical démonstration of each enzyme and the methodology 

 used in its démonstration were described.
