Long-Term Efficacy and Safety of Glycerol Phenylbutyrate in Japanese Patients With Urea Cycle Disorders: Results From a Phase 3 Switch-Over and 12-Month Extension Study. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Sodium phenylbutyrate (NaPBA) is used for nitrogen scavenging in urea cycle disorders (UCDs), but its volume, palatability, and sodium load affect adherence and ammonia control. Glycerol phenylbutyrate (GPB) offers an alternative option with demonstrated improvements in metabolic control and palatability.

Requirement of argininosuccinate lyase for systemic nitric oxide production [PDF]
Nitric oxide (NO) is crucial in diverse physiological and pathological processes. We show that a hypomorphic mouse model of argininosuccinate lyase (encoded by Asl) deficiency has a distinct phenotype of multiorgan dysfunction and NO deficiency.

ASL Metabolically Regulates Tyrosine Hydroxylase in the Nucleus Locus Coeruleus
Summary: Patients with germline mutations in the urea-cycle enzyme argininosuccinate lyase (ASL) are at risk for developing neurobehavioral and cognitive deficits. We find that ASL is prominently expressed in the nucleus locus coeruleus (LC), the central

Fumarate and Its Esters: Physiology, Pathology, Molecular Mechanisms, Diseases, and Therapy [PDF]
Fumarate is an endogenous immunometabolite that regulates metabolism, redox homeostasis, and inflammation. Although fumaric acid esters (FAEs) share several molecular targets with fumarate, their distinct physicochemical properties confer unique biological activities and therapeutic applications.

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Regulating Lipid Metabolism in Cancer: The Therapeutic Potential of Traditional Chinese Medicine
By regulating the reprogramming of lipid metabolism in tumor cells, TCM provides a novel strategy for antitumor therapy with reduced toxicity and enhanced efficacy. ABSTRACT Lipid metabolic reprogramming is a key feature of tumor cells to adapt to the microenvironment and plays an important role in tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis.

A new assay for argininosuccinate in urine samples by high performance liquid chromatography
A rapid, sensitive and simple procedure has been developed for determination of argininosuccinate (ASA). The assay is based upon the enzymatic cleavage of ASA in the presence of excess of argininosuccinate lyase (ASAL), HPLC separation and UV-detection ...
