During his studies, he attended the physiology lectures at Coll\u00e8ge de France provided by Fran\u00e7ois Magendie (1783\u20131855). Magendie was the world\u2019s leading experimental physiologist, and Bernard became his assistant in 1841. Bernard\u2019s training in vivisection, anatomy and physiology was the foundation for his success as an experimental physiologist. Bernard\u2019s first years of independent research were not successful, but his dexterity in vivisection allowed him to collect pancreatic juice from living dogs in 1848. With fresh pancreatic juice available, he demonstrated the lipolytic action of the fluid. Bernard\u2019s first successful finding had been made. The young chemist Barreswil had established a method for the measurement of glucose in Paris in1845 and became Bernard\u2019s collaborator. In 1848, they reported that the liver contained sugar, whereas other tissues did not. Bernard continued these studies and established the glucogenic function of the liver the same year. This finding transformed the existing view of animal metabolism. Serendipity helped in his next big achievement, enabling him to isolate glycogen. Bernard made always double determinations of sugar but during an experiment in 1855, he was unable to make both the determinations of sugar in the liver on the same day. Bernard had perfused a liver with cold water to remove all glucose but found much glucose in the liver the next day. Bernard acknowledged the surprising result and systematically investigated the formation of glucose in water-perfused livers, finding that the \u201cglucose forming\u201d material was insoluble in alcohol and sensitive to heat. Finally, in 1857, Bernard described a method for isolating glycogen and characterized it as \u201canimal starch\u201d, which could produce sugar. The method Bernard used to isolate glycogen is still used, with some minor modifications. Bernard\u2019s legendary status is unquestionable. He characterised glycogen and introduced the concept of the constancy of the internal environment (\n                    <jats:italic>la fixit\u00e9 du milieu int\u00e9rieur<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), which today is known as homeostasis. His fame also survives through the book \u201cAn introduction to the study of experimental medicine\u201d published in 1865. The book is still worth reading and should be read in all courses on the theory of science. In this review we discuss the findings that directed Bernard toward the isolation of glycogen.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Graphical abstract<\/jats:bold>\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Claude Bernard isolated and characterised glycogen from rabbit liver. Slices of a fresh liver were dropped into boiling water to stop chemical reactions. The liver slices were grounded in a mortar, boiled 30-45 min and filtered. The filtrate was mixed with alcohol and the glycogen precipitated. Bernard did some additional treatment of the glycogen pellet with KOH and acetic acid to remove protein to get pure glycogen. The pure glycogen resembled in all investigations starch and Bernard described it as \u201canimal starch\u201d.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00421-025-06080-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,19]],"date-time":"2025-12-19T05:16:30Z","timestamp":1766121390000},"page":"629-647","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Claude Bernard\u2019s route to the isolation of glycogen: the journey that changed scientific views on the physiological role of the liver and animal metabolism"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"126","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5851-220X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J\u00f8rgen","family":"Jensen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claire","family":"Puissant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"6080_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"335","DOI":"10.1093\/ndtplus\/sfq058","volume":"3","author":"C Arunachalam","year":"2010","unstructured":"Arunachalam C, Woywodt A (2010) Turbid urine and beef-eating rabbits: Claude Bernard (1813-78)-a founder of modern physiology.
