In the original version of this Article there were several instances where glycogenolysis was incorrectly referred to as glycolysis. For example, in the Abstract, the sentence beginning ‘Moreover, the blockade of glycogenolysis through the knockdown of the glycogen phosphorylase gene…’ originally read ‘Moreover, the blockade of glycolysis through the knockdown of the glycogen phosphorylase gene…’. The systematic error has now been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article.
