Infantile Refsum Disease: Influence of Dietary Treatment on Plasma Phytanic Acid Levels [PDF]
Infantile Refsum disease (IRD) is one of the less severe of Zellweger spectrum disorders (ZSDs), a group of peroxisomal biogenesis disorders resulting from a generalized peroxisomal function impairment.

ABSTRACT Many inborn errors of metabolism affect pathways involved in the synthesis of a metabolite that has an important biochemical or physiological function, and adverse effects of the disorder can be attributed to the lack of this metabolite. Thus, there is the opportunity for treatment by ‘product replacement’. One of the disorders in the pathways

Studies with purified subcellular organelles from rat liver indicate that nervonic acid (C24:1) is β-oxidized preferentially in peroxisomes. Lack of effect by etomoxir, inhibitor of mitochondrial β-oxidation, on β-oxidation of lignoceric acid (C24:0), a ...

Maternal circulatory L‐tryptophan (TRP) and nicotinamide (NAM) levels are proportional to dietary TRP intake. Yolk sacs, but not embryos, perform NAD de novo synthesis. This study explores the exchange of NAD precursors between mother and conceptus, and NAD generation in conceptal tissues via the NAD de novo synthesis (blue) or salvage (red) pathways ...

: Sterol carrier protein X (SCPx) plays a crucial role in the peroxisomal oxidation of branched-chain fatty acids. To investigate whether patients with an unresolved defect in peroxisomal β-oxidation are deficient for SCPx, we developed a novel and ...

Quality of reporting of randomized controlled trials in polycystic ovary syndrome [PDF]
Background: Inadequate reporting of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) is associated with biased estimates of treatment effects. The reporting quality of RCTs involving patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is unknown. The purpose of this study
