In muscle phosphofructokinase deficiency,the oxidative capacity of muscle and the capacity for aerobic exercise vary according to the availability of blood-borne fuels.We believe that glucose infusion lowers exercise tolerance by inhibiting lipolysis and thus depriving muscle of oxidative substrate(plasma free fatty acids and ketones);this impairs the capacity of working muscle to extract oxygen and lowers maximal oxygen consumption. |
