----------

Glycogen Storage Disorder (GSD) type 1a.(von Gierke disease) is metabolic disorder as result of Glucose-6-phosphotase enzyme deficiency in Liver and Kidneys.It is Autosomal recessive Gentic disorder wherein the glycogen(stored in Liver) is not effectively converted to glucose. This results in fall in blood sugar. Strict
Diet therapy can be effective in reducing the enlargement of liver and to some extent preventing the complications. As regards diet and medical treatment,the surgical treatment feasibilty and about the life of the child you please consult the Hepatologist (liver specialist) or Gastroenterologist because the results vary from individual to individual.  (+ info)

How many calories should I eat have per meal so that storage of them as fat is minimal?


I know that the body can only use so many calories immediately, and the remainder that you consumed in your meal will go to storage as fat or glycogen. I want to know what the average or estimated number is for calories your body can immediately utilize. Using this information, a dieter can determine how many calories to have per meal, and how many of these small meals to have per day. Naturally, having meals with only this many calories will mean eating numerous such meals at regular intervals throughout the day, not just the tpical breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
----------

It really depends on your activity level, but coming from an athlete, the best advice I can give you is to 5-6 small meals a day, space them 2-3 hours apart. Eating 5-6 smaller meals a day more frequently causes your metabolism to speed up, causing you to burn more calories. For me, I try to eat about 1800-2000(which equals 250-350 calories per meal) calories a day because I train for sports, I'm trying to stay lean and mean.

Eat more whole grain wheats, less white rice or carb loaded past. Oatmeal and whey is always good(without added sugar). Also, eat more proteins(chicken breast, fish, low fat meat, nuts, etc...) (I try to eat 160 grams of protein a day, I weigh 160 lbs). You don't have to go all out like that, but eat more proteins, it fills you up faster and is burned easier. Vegetable is always good too, but keep fruits in moderation.

Another thing that'll help tremendously, if for you to do 30 minutes of exercise a day, whether its jogging or whatever.

Hope this helped  (+ info)

wresting season muscle and power (glycogen storage )?


ok im in wrestling and im wondering how can i get stronger from 3 hour intense practices which we do a lot of push ups and cardio , i did research on carbs and other stuff . So say i load on carbs the day before i would me able to get stronger because the energy is being taken out of the glycogen storage.. right. and not my muscles

ok so my question is how much carbs do i need, that will last me a intense 3 hour wrestling practice

also is there any other tips that you can give me to improve my performance

probably if i wanted to loose fat i would need to eat less carbs because after the glycogen gets empty it goes to your fat // right
What im trying to understand is HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR YOUR GLYCOGEN STORAGE TO BE COMPLETELY DEPLETED
BECAUSE I WORKOUT INTENSELY FOR 3 HOURS

Pompe disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by the buildup of glycogen in certain tissues....?


....especially muscles. The defect is due to a mutation in the gene that codes for an enzyme, acid alpha-glucosidase that is normally found in lysosomes. The enzyme normally breaks down glycogen into glucose, but mutations in the gene prevent the enzyme from breaking down the glycogen so that it bulds up in muscle cells, eventually damaging cells throughout the body. Infants with the disorder typically exhibit symptoms such as muscle weakness, and enlarged liver and heart, and heart failure. Most infants with Pompe disease cannot hold up their heads or move normally. As the disease progresses swallowing may become difficult and the tongue may become abnormally enlarged. Most children do not survive beyond the age of 1. The disease affects about 1 in 40,000 people. A man who had a brother that died of Pompe disease marries a woman who is heterozygous for the disease. What is the probability that their children will have the disease??
----------

1 chance in 8.
The man has a 0.5 chance of being a carrier, and his wife is a carrier. If they have children and both are carriers, the chance of having a child with the disease is 0.25. Multiply 0.25 by 0.5 and you get 0.125, or one chance in 8.  (+ info)

Disease...?


I have Trichotillomania, the hair pulling disease. I cannot control my urges to pull, at all. I've tried wrapping my fingers in rubber bands while I write and do work in class (since I pull alot with one hand as I write with the other) and so many other things. It would help so much if I could get some suggestions on ways to keep myself from pulling my hair. I've tried hats, fake nails, etc. Hats were just too aggrivating and annoying. Help? Thank you ahead of time! <3

disease ???????/??????


Hemorrhagic Hereditary Telangiectasia , idk what it is i just heard about it , how do i detect it and what does the disease do
----------

Yes, its a genetic disease. Its also called Osler-Weber-Rendu Syndrome.

Its an abnormality of blood vessels. They get malformed. And because of this abnormal structure they have, they easily bleed and are visible as spots on some parts of the body, esp. the mucous membranes.

This can cause a lot of bleeding in some. In some, these malformed vessels in major organs will have an effect on their function.

There is no cure. The problems that arise keep getting solved by doctors and multiple hospital admissions. But that's all, since there really isn't any solution on repairing the blood vessels all over the body.  (+ info)
