Some effects of glycerol injection on indices of the condition of the thiol-disulfide system as well as carbohydrate and nitrogen metabolism in rats in vivo were studied. A decrease was revealed in levels of non-protein SH-groups in the liver, kidney and heart, as well as of protein SH-groups in the
Fatty acid oxidation disorders and lipin-1 deficiency are the commonest genetic causes of rhabdomyolysis in children. We describe a lipin-1-deficient boy with recurrent, severe rhabdomyolytic episodes from the age of 4 years. Analysis of the LPIN1 gene that encodes lipin-1 revealed a novel
A 48-year-old male patient with underlying CPT II enzyme deficiency is described. Emotional stress appeared to precipitate recurrent myalgias, rhabdomyolysis and reversible renal impairment over a 40-year period. Our search of the English literature indicates this to be the first time that the
Carnitine palmityl-transferase (CPT) II deficiency is a rare disorder of the fatty acid beta-oxidation cycle. CPT II deficiency can be associated with rhabdomyolysis in particular conditions that increase the requirement for fatty acid oxidation, such as low-carbohydrate and high-fat diet, fasting,
BACKGROUND
Severe hypokalemia can be a potentially life-threatening disorder and is associated with variable degrees of skeletal muscle weakness.
UNASSIGNED
We report a case of severe hypokalemic paralysis and rhabdomyolysis in a 28-year-old bodybuilder. He was admitted to the emergency room due to
Four Quarter Horses (9 months to 7 years of age) with submandibular lymphadenopathy and firm muscles (palpation of which elicited signs of pain) were evaluated; in general, the horses had a stiff gait, and 3 horses became recumbent. Streptococcus equi was cultured from aspirates of lymph nodes or
A young standardbred filly became stiff and uncomfortable after racing. A day later, creatine kinase, aspartate aminotransferase, and lactic dehydrogenase levels were markedly elevated. Exertional rhabdomyolysis was diagnosed. Limited exercise and a low carbohydrate, high fat diet were prescribed.
With the awareness of health problems related to obesity, weight reducing diets have become very popular. However, if these meal supplements are not taken as recommended, they can cause considerable harm in high risk individuals. We report a case of a young obese man who developed diabetic
A 6-year-old boy developed rhabdomyolysis following hyperthermia and status epilepticus with a diagnosis of severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy. At 2 and 3 years of age, he had similar episodes. Each time he recovered completely in 3-4 weeks with conservative management, in spite of renal
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether feeding a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet would decrease severity of exercise-induced muscle injury in horses with exertional rhabdomyolysis.
METHODS
19 horses with a history of exertional rhabdomyolysis.
METHODS
Case series.
METHODS
Specimens of the semitendinosus or
Previous studies have associated recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER) with a diet high in soluble carbohydrate (CHO). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 3 diets on clinical and metabolic parameters in 5 Thoroughbred horses with RER and 3 healthy Thoroughbreds performing
Clinical observations suggest that overt rhabdomyolysis may occur if severe hypophosphatemia is superimposed upon a pre-existing subclinical myopathy. To examine this possibility, a subclinical muscle cell injury was induced in 23 dogs by feeding them a phosphorus- and calorie-deficient diet until
Rhabdomyolysis is a disorder characterized by acute damage of the sarcolemma of the skeletal muscle leading to release of potentially toxic muscle cell components into the circulation, most notably creatine phosphokinase (CK) and myoglobin, and is frequently accompanied by myoglobinuria. Therefore,
We experienced a 24-year-old male patient with myalgia and myoglobuinuria followed by severe exercise from childhood. In 18 years old, he had severe myaglia after a long time-night trip by bus. He was diagnosed as acute renal failure induced by rhabdomyolysis and treated with hemodialysis. In 24
Repeated presentations of a rare symptom in a patient should make a physician stop and evaluate for rare conditions. This is a report of a teenager with multiple episodes of rhabdomyolysis and weakness. He was eventually diagnosed as having McArdle muscular dystrophy, or glycogen storage disease
