Metabolic myopathies in glycogen storage disorders encompass a group of inherited conditions in which defects in enzymes or transporters of glycogen metabolism impair muscular energy production. The ...
Glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) comprise a heterogeneous group of inherited metabolic disorders that impede the normal synthesis or degradation of glycogen, resulting in diverse clinical phenotypes.
When we eat foods containing sugar, our bodies convert the excess into glycogen, which is mainly stored in the liver and muscles. Scientists have studied glycogen metabolism for centuries. This ...
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 ...
