  • Title: [Morphology of metabolic myopathies].
    Author: Pongratz D, Hübner G.
    Journal: Monatsschr Kinderheilkd; 1984 Aug; 132(8):574-80. PubMed ID: 6384764.
    Abstract:
    While muscular lesions in endocrine or metabolic diseases are fairly common primary metabolic myopathies are rare. In these, the metabolic fault is in the muscle fibre itself, which takes on a vacuolated appearance. In the majority of these myopathies there is an abnormality of the glycogen or fat metabolism due to the absence of a specific enzyme in most cases. By contrast, the pathogenesis of the so called mitochondrial myopathies is not yet well understood.
