Muscle glycogen metabolism is rapidly dysregulated in critical illness, which may have implications for muscle ATP resynthesis and ICU acquired weakness

aledopress

The association of perturbed skeletal muscle metabolism with #ICU acquired weakness (ICUAW) is not clear. The objective of the present study was to characterise temporal changes in skeletal #muscle mitochondrial function, #ATP concentration, and substrate utilisation during and up to 6 months post ICU admission in critically ill patients, and to delineate mechanisms underpinning ICUAW… Continue reading Muscle glycogen metabolism is rapidly dysregulated in critical illness, which may have implications for muscle ATP resynthesis and ICU acquired weakness
