To determine how inherited deficiency of AMP deaminase affects skeletal muscle energy metabolism and anaerobic performance during sprint exercise in asymptomatic individuals.
Evaluated 18 healthy asymptomatic participants categorized into normal homozygotes (NN), heterozygotes (MN), and mutant homozygotes (MM) during a 30-second Wingate sprint test.
Analyzed muscle biopsies for AMP deaminase activity, ATP catabolism, IMP accumulation, and adenosine concentration, alongside serial blood samples for lactate and ammonia kinetics.
Sprint performance was preserved across all genotypes, but normal homozygotes (NN) showed the highest AMP deaminase activity, ATP catabolism, and IMP accumulation, which were intermediate in MN and absent in MM.
Mutant homozygotes (MM) failed to increase postexercise plasma ammonia but demonstrated a 25-fold surge in muscle adenosine, whereas heterozygotes (MN) showed a twofold adenosine rise and unexpectedly higher plasma ammonia accumulation than NN.
