An Experimental Model of Porphyria [PDF]
1. The porphyrias are a group of disorders of haem metabolism, due to an enzymatic defect in the haem biosynthetic pathway. Two current hypotheses regarding the underlying causes of the neuropathy of the acute type of porphyria were examined.

In vertebrates, the initial step in heme biosynthesis is the production of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) by ALA synthase (ALAS). ALA formation is believed to be the rate-limiting step for cellular heme production.

Altered myelination as a proposed mechanism for neurocognitive dysfunction observed in mice with Tyrosinemia type 1 [PDF]
The exact mechanism behind the recent reports of impaired neurocognitive function in individuals with the rare genetic disorder Hereditary Tyrosinemia Type I (HT1) has yet to be determined.

Point mutations in the Murine Fah gene : animal models for the human genetic disorder hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 [PDF]
Hereditary tyrosinemia type 1 (HT1) is a severe autosomal recessive metabolic disease, associated with point mutations in the human fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) gene that cause disruption of tyrosine catabolism.

Haem Biosynthesis in Isolated Human Erythroblasts [PDF]
Hepatic haem biosynthesis has been well characterised. The first enzyme of the haem biosynthetic pathway, 5-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) synthase, is rate-limiting and under negative feedback control by haem.
