In von Gierke's disease, glycogen accumulation
is limited to the liver and kidneys because these two
organs have

(A) more glycogen than other organs
(B) gluconeogenic enzymes
© glycogen synthetase
(D) a greater concentration of uridine diphosphate
(UDP)-glucose than other organs
(E) a greater concentration of glucose 1-phosphate
than other organs

shiney plz explain this answer thanks.

coz these two organs have capability for gluconeogenesis, simply b/c they have gluconeogetic enzymes. the final step for glucogeneogensies is to convert G-6-P to glucose, which is the duty of glucose 6 phosphatase, if the enzyme deficient, producing von Gierke disease.....

if organs don't have the ability for gluconeogenesis, where is the accumulation of glycogen?

hope it helps..
