What can metabolic myopathies teach us about exercise physiology?
Abstract
Exercise physiologists are interested in metabolic myopathies because they demonstrate how knocking out a component of a specific biochemical pathway can alter cellular metabolism. McArdle's disease (myophosphorylase deficiency) has often been studied in exercise physiology to demonstrate the influence of removing the major anaerobic energy supply to skeletal muscle. Studies of patients with McArdle's disease have shown the increased reliance …
