L-pipecolaturia in Zellweger syndrome
Purified rat peroxisomes have been reported to oxidize D-pipecolic acid and the pipecolaturia of Zellweger syndrome has been attributed to the absence of peroxisomes. The logical consequences would be excesses of D-pipecolic acid in the urine of patients with Zellweger syndrome.

Abstract Although inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are a rare cause of epilepsy, seizures are a common presentation in these disorders. Seizures in IEM are frequently refractory to conventional anti‐seizure medication and might warrant initiation of specific treatments based on vitamins or dietary modifications or provision of alternative substrates ...

WIPI1, BAG1 and PEX3 autophagy-related genes are relevant melanoma markers [PDF]
ROS and oxidative stress may promote autophagy; on the other hand, autophagy may help reduce oxidative damages. According to the known interplay of ROS, autophagy, and melanoma onset, we hypothesized that autophagy-related genes (ARGs) may represent ...

Prohormones in the early diagnosis of cardiac syncope [PDF]
Background--The early detection of cardiac syncope is challenging. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of 4 novel prohormones, quantifying different neurohumoral pathways, possibly involved in the pathophysiological features of cardiac syncope ...
