Increased PFK activity and GLUT4 protein content in McArdle's disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Inborn errors of metabolism represent an opportunity to conduct studies in order to understand compensatory adaptations to a defective metabolic pathway. We evaluated the molecular and biochemical adaptations in substrate metabolism (glycolysis, electron transport chain, tricarboxylic acid cycle, beta-oxidation) in response to myophosphorylase deficiency in skeletal muscle from 13 patients with McArdle's disease (MD) and 13 age-matched controls. MD muscle had higher phosphofructokinase protein content and activity as well as glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) protein content and lower GLUT4 mRNA content than controls. At the protein level, skeletal muscle adaptations suggest an augmented glucose transport and glycolytic flux as a compensatory metabolic strategy to a chronic absence of muscle glycogen phosphorylase. These results support previous findings of increased glucose uptake during exercise and alleviation of symptoms with oral sucrose in patients with MD.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
