A study by researchers from Finland and Colorado have found that there may be a link between how the body deals with glucose and mobility in people with MS.
Eight patients with MS and eight controls performed 15 minutes of treadmill walking at a self-selected pace, during which the glucose analogue [18F]-Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) was injected. Immediately after the period of walking, the participants underwent a positron emission tomography (PET) scan..... Read More - http://www.ms-uk.org/msetiology
