Interaction of Muscle Dystrophy, Glucose Metabolism and Insulin Sensitivity (MyoMet)

September 21, 2021 updated by: Michael Boschmann, Charite University, Berlin, Germany
The aim of this project to characterize systemic and organ-specific (subcutaneous adipose tissue and skeletal muscle) metabolic responses at rest and during standardized, moderate exercise after an oral glucose load in patients with various geneticaly heritable foms of skeletal muscle dystrophies. Metabolic responses will be monitored by indirect calorimetry (canopy and/or metabolic chamber at rest and during exercise) and microdialysis (adipose tissue and skeletal muscle at rest) before and after an oral glucose load (75 g).
