How Does Glycogen Storage Disease Cause Cardiomyopathy? Cardiac involvement is a well-known feature in several glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) such as types II, III, IV, and IX and PRKAG2, a gene that encodes the regulatory γ2-subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which, when mutated, causes glycogen storage cardiomyopathy. What is glycogen storage cardiomyopathy? Glycogen storage

How Is Glycogen Used During Exercise?

How Is Glycogen Used During Exercise? During intense, intermittent exercise and throughout prolonged physical activity, muscle glycogen particles are broken down, freeing glucose molecules that muscle cells then oxidize through anaerobic and aerobic processes to produce the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecules required for muscle contraction. What is glycogen in exercise? Glycogen is the main energy
