Glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) constitute a group of inherited metabolic disorders that impair normal glycogen synthesis or degradation, resulting in the accumulation of structurally abnormal ...

McArdle disease, also known as glycogen storage disease type V, is an inherited metabolic disorder marked by a deficiency of myophosphorylase, the enzyme essential for the breakdown of glycogen in ...

Glycogen storage disease (GSD) refers to a group of rare genetic conditions that affect how the body stores and breaks down glycogen. The most common type is type I, also called von Gierke disease.

Glycogen storage disorders are inborn errors of metabolism that typically affect the cellular architecture and function of the liver or kidney. However, some of these diseases manifest in skeletal or ...

COLUMBIA, Mo. - Glycogen storage disorders, which affect the body's ability to process sugar and store energy, are rare metabolic conditions that frequently manifest in the first years of life. Often ...

Researchers from Maze Therapeutics Inc. presented the discovery and preclinical characterization of a novel selective small-molecule inhibitor of glycogen synthase 1 (GYS1), MZ-101, as a potential ...

The basics of glycogen biology are thought to be well established, but a study in rodents turns long-standing assumptions on their head. Surprisingly, the researchers found that glycogen synthesis ...

Using novel imaging methods for studying brain metabolism, researchers have identified the reservoir for a necessary sugar in the brain. Glycogen serves as a storage depot for the sugar glucose. Using ...

Glycogen is a form of glucose that helps regulate your blood sugar levels. Your eating and exercise habits play a role in determining your glycogen levels. Glycogen is the stored form of a simple ...

Glycogen has been linked to diverse processes, the most recent of which is its role in disease progression and ageing. Studies in Caenorhabditis elegans have revealed that high sugar diets which ...
