What are glycogen storage diseases?
Glycogen Storage disease is an inhearited disease that is caused by the large amount of build up of a carbohydrate called glycogen in the cells of the body. Unfourtantly when the build up occures then it causes other organs of the body to malfunction such at the liver.
What organelle does Pompe disease affect in a cell?
It is the only glycogen storage disease with a defect in lysosomal metabolism, and the first glycogen storage disease to be identified, in 1932 by the Dutch pathologist J.C.Pompe.The build-up of glycogen causes progressive muscle weakness throughout the body.
Can you out grow glycogen storage disease?
No a person who is affected by Gsd will never grow out of the disease. It is a chronic illness that is genetic.

What has the author A N Peeling written?

How you will define glycogen?
Glycogen is the body's storage of energy. It is a starch.
Why is glycogen a storage of carbohydrate in muscle?
Glycogen is a storage of carbohydrate in the muscles, because that is the way the body is made. To access glycogen, the body needs to get into active mode.
What is the storage of the starch?
glycogen
What carbohydrate is used in the liver for energy storage?
glycogen
What promotes the storage of glucose as glycogen?
Insulin promotes the storage of glucose as glycogen in the liver and muscles by stimulating glycogen synthesis. When blood glucose levels are high, insulin is released from the pancreas to signal cells to take up glucose and convert it into glycogen for storage.
The major storage sites for glycogen in the body are?
The major storage sites for glycogen in the body are the liver and skeletal muscles. The liver stores glycogen to maintain blood glucose levels, while skeletal muscles store glycogen to provide energy during physical activity.
