Glutaric aciduria type I is due to an impaired glutaryl-CoA-dehydrogenase with an increased urinary excretion of glutaric and 3-OH glutaric acid. Typically, the clinical course until the sixth month or even 3rd year of life is symptom free, and only later an encephalopathic crisis develops. The only
Infants with macrocephaly, young children with acute disease resembling encephalitis, and children with truncal hypotonia, ataxia, or dystonia may be affected by glutaric aciduria type I (GA 1, glutaryl-CoA-dehydrogenase deficiency), a not-so-rare autosomal recessive neurometabolic disease.
Glutaric aciduria type 1 (GA 1) is a preventable cause of acute brain damage in early childhood, leading to a severe dystonic-dyskinetic disorder. Typically between 6 and 18 months of age, a non-specific illness such as respiratory or gastrointestinal infection or immunization leads to
We previously reported that wrinkle formation in the skin following long-term ultraviolet B irradiation is accompanied by decreases in skin elasticity and the curling of elastic fibers in the dermis. We further showed that wrinkles could be repaired by treatment with retinoic acid and that this was
We have previously demonstrated that decreases in skin elasticity, accompanied by increases in the tortuosity of elastic fibers, are important early events in wrinkle formation. In order to study the role of elastases in the degeneration of elastic fibers during wrinkle formation we examined the
Increasing evidence hints to the central role of neuroinflammation in the development of post-stroke depression. Danger signals released in the acute phase of ischemia trigger microglial activation, along with the infiltration of neutrophils and macrophages. The increased secretion of
