Metabolic phenotype of methylmalonic acidemia in mice and humans: the role of skeletal muscle
Background Mutations in methylmalonyl-CoA mutase cause methylmalonic acidemia, a common organic aciduria. Current treatment regimens rely on dietary management and, in severely affected patients, liver or combined liver-kidney transplantation.

Vitamin B12 in Cats: Nutrition, Metabolism, and Disease
Cobalamin is a water-soluble molecule that has an important role in cellular metabolism, especially in DNA synthesis, methylation, and mitochondrial metabolism. Cobalamin is bound by intrinsic factor (IF) and absorbed in the ileal tract.

How do we evaluate a marginally low B12 level? [PDF]
The best way to evaluate a low-normal B12 level is to check serum methylmalonic acid and homocysteine levels1 (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, based on consistent level 2 or 3 studies).

Ammonium accumulation is a primary effect of 2-methylcitrate exposure in an in vitro model for brain damage in methylmalonic aciduria. [PDF]
Using 3D organotypic rat brain cell cultures in aggregates we recently identified 2-methylcitrate (2-MCA) as the main toxic metabolite for developing brain cells in methylmalonic aciduria.

An eye on long‐duration spaceflight: Controversies, countermeasures and challenges
Abstract Space flight‐associated neuroocular syndrome (SANS) is a consequence of long‐duration space flight and is detected in two‐thirds of astronauts. In‐flight, this can cause a change in the refraction of the eyes, requiring graded hypermetropic ‘superfocus adjustable’ glasses, optic nerve head oedema and choroidal folds.

Tricarboxylic acid cycle enzyme activities in a mouse model of methylmalonic aciduria [PDF]
Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is a propionate pathway disorder caused by dysfunction of the mitochondrial enzyme methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MMUT). MMUT catalyzes the conversion of methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA, an anaplerotic reaction which feeds into ...

Discordant Vitamin B12 Results in an IgA Nephropathy Patient
ABSTRACT Background Discordant Vitamin B12 results can result from immunoassay interferences, potentially leading to unnecessary diagnostic procedures and misdiagnoses if not properly recognized. Case Presentation A 76‐year‐old male with a history of IgA nephropathy, hypertension, and other comorbidities presented with unexpectedly elevated total ...
