Bernard's announcement of his successful isolation of glycogen from the liver (truncated) (a feat repeated independently and almost simultaneously by V. Hensen in Germany). This paper is a continuation of Bernard's landmark "Sur le mécanisme de la formation du sucre dans la foie" (Comptes rendus de l'Académie des Sciences 41 [1855]: 461-469), in which he had announced the discovery of glycogen, an "animal starch" created in the liver that can be converted by the liver into sugar.
