Abstract
Summary
While individual hearts show wide variations in the comparative contents of glycogen in the several parts, averages for the 12 hearts studied indicate that in a large series these differences would not be great. In general, the left atrium and the right ventricle show slightly higher percentages than do the remaining parts of the heart. Whether this greater content would hold for a larger series and possible structural or functional significance of such differences are matters entirely speculative in nature.
