Glycogen storage disease - what does this mean
Glycogen storage disease is a group of inherited metabolic disorders caused by defects in the enzymes responsible for the metabolism of glycogen, a form of glucose stored in the body. these defects lead to an accumulation of glycogen in the cells of the body, which can lead to organ dysfunction and other complications.
What happens during the disease - glycogen storage disease
Glycogen storage disease is caused by a genetic defect in enzymes responsible for the breakdown and synthesis of glycogen, the body's main storage form of glucose. this defect results in an accumulation of glycogen in the liver, muscle, and other tissues, leading to a variety of symptoms such as hypoglycemia, hepatomegaly, cardiomyopathy, and muscle weakness.

Glycogen storage disease - Prevention
Glycogen storage disease can be prevented by regular monitoring of blood sugar levels and maintaining a healthy diet that is low in simple sugars and high in complex carbohydrates. additionally, regular exercise and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption can help reduce the risk of developing glycogen storage disease.
