glycogen storage disease/triglyceride

A female presented in infancy with hypotonia, undetectable serum glucose, lactic acidosis, and triglycerides >5000 mg/dL. The diagnosis of type 1A glycogen storage disease was made via the result of a liver biopsy, which showed increased glycogen and absent glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme activity. The

BACKGROUND Besides profound hypoglycemia with hyperlacticemia, glycogen storage disease type Ia (GSD Ia) presents hypertriglyceridemia that is often resistant to dietary treatment with cornstarch. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT)--which are absorbed

OBJECTIVE Hypoketotic hypoglycaemia and hypertriglyceridaemia are biochemical hallmarks of glycogen storage disease (GSD) 1. Increased malonyl coenzyme A production which compromises oxidation of long-chain fatty acids via carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) 1 inhibition plays a crucial role in the

BACKGROUND Uncooked corn-starch (UCCS) has been the mainstay of therapy for the hepatic glycogen storage diseases (GSD) but is not always effective. A new starch (WMHMS) has demonstrated a more favourable short-term metabolic profile. OBJECTIVE To determine efficacy and safety of a new uncooked

Glycogen storage disease type 1a (GSD-1a) is a metabolic disorder characterized by fasting-induced hypoglycemia, hepatic steatosis, and hyperlipidemia. The mechanisms underlying the lipid abnormalities are largely unknown. To investigate these mechanisms seven GSD-1a patients and four healthy

Background: Glycogen storage disease (GSD) is a relatively rare inborn metabolic disorder, our study aims to investigate the genotypic and clinical feature of hepatic GSDs in China. Methods:
