Glycogen storage disease type IX Glycogen storage disease type IX Glycogen storage disease type IX is a hereditary deficiency of glycogen phosphorylase kinase B that affects the liver and skeletal muscle tissue. It is inherited in an X-linked or autosomal recessive manner. The signs and symptoms in glycogen storage disease type IX include: Most of these signs and symptoms diminish as adulthood sets in. Glycogen storage disease type IX can be inherited via: The diagnosis of glycogen storage disease IX consists of the following: There are two types of this inherited condition, "glycogen storage disease IXa1" and "glycogen storage disease IXa2" that affect the liver
Equine exertional rhabdomyolysis cell membranes may then be damaged if the horse is forced to continue work, which allows muscle enzymes and myoglobin to leak into the bloodstream. The body builds up a store of glycogen from converted carbohydrates in muscle cells. Glycogen, a fuel used by muscles for energy, is depleted during work and restocked when a horse rests. Oxygen-carrying blood metabolizes glycogen, but the blood can not flow fast enough to metabolise the excess stored glycogen. The glycogen that is not metabolized aerobically (by the oxygenated blood) must then be metabolized anaerobically, which then creates the cell waste products and heat,
