Skeletal Muscle Glycogen Chain Length Correlates with Insolubility in Mouse Models of Polyglucosan-Associated Neurodegenerative Diseases
1 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
Lafora disease (LD) and adult polyglucosan body disease (APBD) are glycogen storage diseases characterized by a pathogenic buildup of insoluble glycogen. Mechanisms causing glycogen insolubility are poorly understood. Here, in two mouse models of LD ( Epm2a −/− and Epm2b −/− ) and one of APBD ( Gbe1 ys/ys ), the separation of soluble and insoluble muscle glycogen is described, enabling separate analysis of each...
