Brief Summary: OBJECTIVES I Examine the interrelationships between muscle wasting phenotype the degree of myotonic dystrophy DM gene expression genotype in patients with DM

II Characterize the insulin resistance in these patients III Assess the glucose uptake in the leg and forearm tissues of these patients

IV Determine the stability of the DM gene lesion in muscles over a 5-10 year period
Detailed Description: PROTOCOL OUTLINE Patients are placed on a meatless diet 3 days prior to study entry

During the first 5-day hospital stay patients receive an oral glucose tolerance test an intravenous glucose tolerance test and an intravenous infusion of insulin and glucose dextrose to determine the degree of insulin resistance Patients also receive dual x-ray absorptiometry DEXA scan and total body potassium count to measure muscle mass Patients undergo strength testing and physical fitness screening A needle biopsy is performed to investigate the genetic alterations associated with this disease

During the second 3-day hospital stay patients receive an intravenous infusion of insulin stable isotopic glucose and stable isotopic glycerol

During the third 3-day hospital stay a catheter is placed in the femoral artery femoral vein and in each arm Patients receive an infusion of stable isotopic glucose stable isotopic phenylalanine and insulin Measurements of the balance of amino acids and glucose across the forearm and leg are completed Green dye is infused to measure blood flow in the leg
