PGM1 deficiency: substrate use during exercise and effect of treatment with galactose

Highlights • PGM1 deficiency is associated with severe exercise intolerance due to a block in skeletal muscle glycogenolytic capacity. • Oral galactose treatment in adults with PGM1 deficiency is safe and improves walking distance. • Galactose treatment tends to normalize skeletal muscle substrate u...

Description
Summary:Highlights • PGM1 deficiency is associated with severe exercise intolerance due to a block in skeletal muscle glycogenolytic capacity. • Oral galactose treatment in adults with PGM1 deficiency is safe and improves walking distance. • Galactose treatment tends to normalize skeletal muscle substrate use from fat to carbohydrates during exercise.
