ACLY and hereditary elliptocytosis: A higher intramuscular fat content (29.9 vs. 22.8%, P < 0.01) and lower protein content (68.6 vs. 74.9%, P < 0.05) were observed in the HE treatment compared with the LE diet treatment, this could have resulted from the intramuscular fat being derived from a glucose substrate that is absorbed in the small intestine and stimulates a greater activity of ATP citrate lyase, which synthesizes fat from glucose[31].
