Creatine deficiency syndromes and the importance of creatine synthesis in the brain

open access: yes, 2011
Creatine deficiency syndromes, due to deficiencies in AGAT, GAMT (creatine synthesis pathway) or SLC6A8 (creatine transporter), lead to complete absence or very strong decrease of creatine in CNS as measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Microfluidic Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (MICSI): A Novel Platform for Sperm Isolation, Selection, and Injection Into Oocytes

open access: yesAndrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Infertility is a pressing global health concern, affecting one in six couples worldwide. The failure rate for assisted reproductive technologies (ART) cycles remains at approximately 78%, with limited improvements often attributed to a lack of technological innovation.

Diagnostic delay in cerebral creatine deficiency disorders: lessons learned from a cross-sectional single center study, and guanidinoacetate and creatine measurements in Switzerland between 2015 and 2023

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Pediatrics
Background Cerebral creatine deficiency disorders (CCDD) are rare diseases caused by defects in the enzymes L-arginine: glycine amidinotransferase (AGAT) or guanidinoacetate-N-methyltransferase (GAMT), which are involved in synthesis of creatine; or by a

Biochemical and clinical characteristics of creatine deficiency syndromes.

open access: yes, 2004
Creatine deficiency syndromes are a newly described group of inborn errors of creatine synthesis (arginine:glycine amidinotransferase (AGAT) deficiency and guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT) deficiency) and of creatine transport (creatine ...

Air embolism secondary to suspected lymphatic tissue disruption with severe exercise‐induced pulmonary haemorrhage

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Air embolism is rare in horses and typically associated with complications following intravenous catheterisation or other medical procedures. Exercise‐induced pulmonary haemorrhage (EIPH) is common in racehorses but not usually associated with air embolism. This report describes a case of air embolism in a 4‐year‐old Thoroughbred with EIPH. The

Outbreak of poisoning by sodium hydrogen methylarsonate (MSMA)—an arsenic‐based herbicide—in horses in Brazil

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Arsenic poisoning in horses is rarely reported in the literature. However, arsenic compounds can be present in rodenticides, pesticides, and herbicides, representing a potential source of accidental exposure for horses. Objective To describe the epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory findings from a herd of 31 horses exposed to ...

Steroidogenic compensation and lipid deficiency with enhanced NAD+ salvage in small‐for‐gestational‐age placenta

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Fetal growth restriction is associated with placental metabolic adaptations. In small‐for‐gestational‐age placenta (SGA), cholesterol receptors and steroidogenic enzymes are upregulated, enhancing steroidogenesis. NAD salvage pathway is also increased to support NADP+/NADPH requirements.

[18F]FDG-PET and [18F]MPPF-PET are brain biomarkers for the creatine transporter Slc6a8 loss of function mutation

open access: yesScientific Reports
Pathogenic variants in the creatine transporter gene SLC6A8, reported to represent 2% of all intellectual disabilities in males, result in a spectrum of behavioral abnormalities including developmental delay, intellectual disability, and deficit in ...
