Normothermic Machine Perfusion of Explanted Human Metabolic Livers: A Proof of Concept for Studying Inborn Errors of Metabolism [PDF]
ABSTRACT The human liver plays a central metabolic role; however, its physiology may become imbalanced in inborn errors of metabolism (IEM), a broad category of monogenic disorders. Liver transplantation has been increasingly used to improve patient metabolic control, especially in diseases related to amino acid metabolism, such as urea cycle disorders

Amino Acid Metabolism and Immune Dysfunction in Urea Cycle Disorders: T and B Cell Perspectives [PDF]
ABSTRACT Urea cycle disorders (UCDs) are a group of genetic metabolic conditions characterized by enzyme deficiencies responsible for detoxifying ammonia. Hyperammonemia, the accumulation of intermediate metabolites, and a deficiency of essential amino acids—due to a protein‐restrictive diet and the use of ammonia scavengers—can increase the risk of ...

Reshaping the Treatment Landscape of a Galactose Metabolism Disorder [PDF]
ABSTRACT The Leloir pathway was elucidated decades ago, unraveling how galactose is metabolized in the body. Different inborn errors of metabolism in this pathway are known, the most frequent and well‐studied being Classic Galactosemia (CG) (OMIM 230400) due to pathogenic variants in the GALT gene.

Emergency Management of Intoxication‐Type Inherited Metabolic Disorders [PDF]
ABSTRACT In many intoxication‐type inherited metabolic disorders, the accumulation of the toxic chemical can cause acute life‐threatening emergencies. Sometimes this is the inevitable consequence of a severe metabolic defect, but it is often triggered by catabolism.

Inborn Errors of Metabolism Associated With Autism Spectrum Disorders: Approaches to Intervention
Increasing evidence suggests that the autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be associated with inborn errors of metabolism, such as disorders of amino acid metabolism and transport [phenylketonuria, homocystinuria, S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase ...

Dietary Restriction of Amino Acids for Cancer Therapy [PDF]
Biosyntheses of proteins, nucleotides and fatty acids, are essential for the malignant proliferation and survival of cancer cells. Cumulating research findings show that amino acid restrictions are potential strategies for cancer interventions. Meanwhile, dietary strategies are popular among cancer patients.

Citrullinemia and Hyperglycinemia Presenting with Seizures - Case Report of a 4 Day Old Baby
Inborn errors of amino acid metabolism (IEM) are of concern in India, the spectrum being wide, varied and poorly diagnosed. Since aggregate incidence of inborn errors of metabolism is relatively high, in countries such as India, a high degree of ...
