Cornstarch therapy in type I glycogen-storage disease
1984
Chen, Yuan-Tsong | Cornblath, Marvin | Sidbury, James B.
A study assessed the use of uncooked cornstarch as an alternative, effective therapeutic regimen in 13 patients with Type I glycogen-storage (GS) disease. Clinical tests included carbohydrate-tolerance and blood glucose and lactate responses. The side effects of the cornstarch regimen were short-term and minimal. The cornstarch therapy was compared with 3 other regimens. The results suggest the use of cornstarch as an important alternative therapy for patients with Type I GS disease. Continuous nocturnal infusion, however, remains the therapy of choice for infants with low pancreatic amylase levels. (wz)
