Abstract excerpt
Muscle glycogen storage was measured by in vivo, natural abundance 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in distal and proximal lower limb segments of patients suffering from adult-onset acid maltase deficiency. Interleaved T1-weighted acquisitions of glycogen and creatine served to quantify glycogen excess. For acid maltase deficient patients (n=11), glycogen:creatine was higher than controls (n=12),...
