ABSTRACT Undoubtedly the nutritional management of inborn errors of protein metabolism (IEPM) has improved since the early 1950s, but it is still associated with significant patient burden. The pace of development has not kept up with the increasing demands of the ‘real world’ or development in other areas of medicine. It is essential that research and

Effects of succinylacetone on the uptake of sugars and amino acids by brush border vesicles
Infants with hereditary tyrosinemia excrete succinylacetone (SA) in their urine, and suffer from a reversible renal Fanconi syndrome with glycosuria and hyperaminoaciduria. Thus, we have examined the effects of 4 mM SA on rat renal brush border membrane vesicle uptake of sugars and amino acids.

Abstract Background Dysfunction of δ‐aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD), the second enzyme involved in heme biosynthesis, leads to two pathologies: genetic and acquired. The genetic form is an ultrarare, severe childhood‐onset disease inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, whereas the acquired form usually affects adults due to enzyme ...

Metabolic signatures and a diagnostic model for citrin deficiency based on urinary organic acids
Urinary organic acid profiles in NICCD show enrichment in energy and amino acid pathways. The random forest model differentiates NICCD from non‐specific metabolic abnormalities, both with elevated 4‐hydroxyphenyllactic acid and 4‐hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, which may cause misdiagnosis. Model explanation and web application help physicians make clinical

Heme oxygenase-1 regulates matrix metalloproteinase MMP-1 secretion and chondrocyte cell death via Nox4 NADPH oxidase activity in chondrocytes. [PDF]
Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) activates the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and secretion of MMPs as well as chondrocyte apoptosis. Those events lead to matrix breakdown and are key features of osteoarthritis (OA). We confirmed that in human C-20/A4
