On the glycogen in the epithelium of the fetal intestine: In the first half of pregnancy the well‐known occurrence of glycogen incorporation in the supra‐ and infranuclear cytoplasm of the villous enterocytes was verified. This enormous glycan store is evidently of very little functional importance. It seems to be an expression of a disordered glycogenolysis. These masses of glycogen are incorporated into impressive glycogenosomes, which are the predominante cytoplasmic inclusions for a short period of time. According to the present results it is not certain whether lysosomal glycogenolysis happens. There is no morphological or functional evidence for a utilization og glycogen.
