Abstract excerpt
Glycogen storage disease type Ib (GSD-Ib), caused by a deficiency in glucose-6-phosphate transporter (G6PT), is characterized by disrupted glucose homeostasis, inflammatory bowel disease, neutropenia, and neutrophil dysfunction. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of G6PT on macrophage functions and metabolism. Peritoneal macrophages of G6pt-/- mice were lower in number and their effector...
