Reduced gluconeogenesis and lactate clearance in Huntington's disease

We studied systemic and brain glucose and lactate metabolism in Huntington's disease (HD) patients in response to ergometer cycling. Following termination of exercise, blood glucose increased abruptly in control subjects, but no peak was seen in any of the HD patients (2.0±0.5 vs. 0.0±0.2 mM, P...
