Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Description of in vivo energy and proton balance during exercise in MR scanner with and without ketone ester drink: steady-state intramuscular levels of glycogen, Pi, PCr and pH and kinetic rate constant of metabolic recovery.

    10 minutes; during in-magnet exercise test of session II and III.

Secondary Outcomes (20)

  • time of individual desired workload

    through completion of the maximum exercise test (of approximately 12 minutes) during study session I.

  • completion of supine bicycling bout at desired workload in scanner

    10 min

  • Muscle ultrasound density of the biceps, quadriceps, calf (gastrocnemius and/or soleus) and tibialis anterior muscles.

    Together with the muscle force examination this assessment will take 1.5 hour.

  • Muscle force unilateral

    Together with the muscle ultrasound this assessment will take 1.5 hour.

  • Subjective fatigue and muscle ache score

    after each exercise bout and 24 hours after exercise

  • +15 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Ketone-ester drink

EXPERIMENTAL

Oral intake - physical exercise

Other: physical exercise

Carbohydrate drink

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Oral intake - physical exercise

Other: physical exercise

Interventions

In session II and III participants will perform an exercise test on a bicycle inside and outside the MR scanner.

Carbohydrate drinkKetone-ester drink

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 65 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • GSD III confirmed with enzyme assay and/or AGL mutation analysis and GSD IIIa further specified as deficient debranching enzyme activity in muscle or clinical and/or biochemical signs of cardiac and/or skeletal muscular involvement.

You may not qualify if:

  • contraindications for MRI studies (assessed by standardised questionnaire)
  • inability to perform bicycle exercise.
  • intercurrent illness which may influence exercise tolerance (anemia, musculoskeletal injury, or other undiagnosed illness under investigation).
  • known coronary artery disease, positive history for angina or cardiomyopathy.
  • insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
  • loss of, or an inability to give informed consent.
  • pregnancy or current breastfeeding.
  • any other cause which in the opinion of the investigators, may affect the participant's ability to participate in the study
