Mouse models for inherited monoamine neurotransmitter disorders
Abstract Several mouse models have been developed to study human defects of primary and secondary inherited monoamine neurotransmitter disorders (iMND). As the field continues to expand, current defects in corresponding mouse models include enzymes and a molecular co‐chaperone involved in monoamine synthesis and metabolism (PAH, TH, PITX3, AADC, DBH ...

Abstract Leishmaniasis is a group of neglected tropical diseases caused by at least 20 species of Leishmania protozoa, which are spread by the bite of infected sandflies. There are three main forms of the disease: cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL, the most common), visceral leishmaniasis (VL, also known as kala‐azar, the most serious), and mucocutaneous ...

Disorders of biopterin metabolism [PDF]
SummaryDefects in the metabolism or regeneration of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) were initially discovered in patients with hyperphenylalaninaemia who had progressive neurological deterioration despite optimal metabolic control (malignant hyperphenylalaninaemia).

Fast Label‐Free Metabolic Profile Recognition Identifies Phenylketonuria and Subtypes
The plasmonic silver nanoshells constructed microarrays are used for laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MS) detection of phenylketonuria (PKU) by recognizing metabolic profile in dried blood spot (DBS) samples. The platform achieves precise PKU diagnosis and subtype identification in a single DBS test with a fast, label‐free, and low‐cost ...

Long-term Western diet fed apolipoprotein E-deficient rats exhibit only modest early atherosclerotic characteristics [PDF]
In the apolipoprotein E–deficient mouse, the gut microbiota has an impact on the development of atherosclerosis, but whether such correlations are also present in rats requires investigation.

Gene therapy for neurotransmitter‐related disorders
Abstract Inborn errors of neurotransmitter (NT) metabolism are a group of rare, heterogenous diseases with predominant neurological features, such as movement disorders, autonomic dysfunction, and developmental delay. Clinical overlap with other disorders has led to delayed diagnosis and treatment, and some conditions are refractory to oral ...

Electron paramagnetic resonance characterization of tetrahydrobiopterin radical formation in bacterial nitric oxide synthase compared to mammalian nitric oxide synthase. [PDF]
International audienceH(4)B is an essential catalytic cofactor of the mNOSs. It acts as an electron donor and activates the ferrous heme-oxygen complex intermediate during Arg oxidation (first step) and NOHA oxidation (second step) leading to nitric ...

Nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide: the gasotransmitter paradigm of the vascular system. [PDF]
There are several reviews on NO and hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) and their role in vascular diseases in the current relevant literature. The aim of this review is to discuss, within the limits of present knowledge, the interconnection between these two ...

Plasmodium Infection Is Associated with Impaired Hepatic Dimethylarginine Dimethylaminohydrolase Activity and Disruption of Nitric Oxide Synthase Inhibitor/Substrate Homeostasis. [PDF]
Inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) signaling may contribute to pathological activation of the vascular endothelium during severe malaria infection. Dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH) regulates endothelial NO synthesis by maintaining homeostasis ...
