A mildly retarded infant with failure to thrive developed hypoglycaemia, focal seizures, respiratory failure and hemiparesis during a febrile episode at the age of 16 months. A brain scan was initially normal and showed hemilateral focal edema and gliosis at later stages. 3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA
To investigate the effect of dietary eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) on plasma lipoprotein levels, lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) activity and liver acetyl CoA carboxylase activity, highly concentrated EPA (78%) purified from sardine oil was fed to stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive
The results of γ-glutamyl carboxylase gene rs2592551 polymorphism determining in 170 patients with ischemic atherothrombotic stroke and 124 subjects without acute cerebrovascular disease (control group) have been evaluated. Obtained results revealed that rs2592551 polymorphism was related to
Background and Purpose- Cerebral ischemic stroke elicits profound responses of CD4+ T cells, which in turn significantly affect the ischemic brain injury. ACC1 (acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase 1) is a key enzyme that has been recently found to propagate CD4+ T cell-associated
We report a 3-year-old boy with isolated 3-methylcrotonyl-coenzyme A deficiency with unexpectedly severe presentation, seizures and history of cerebral ischae-mic episode.
The stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) is a model of heritable hypertension-associated cerebrovascular injury. This study sought to compare SHRSP to the stroke-resistant SHR strain to identify genes and protein pathways whose expression and/or function was significantly altered
Propionic acidemia caused by propionyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency frequently leads to neurologic complications. Herein we report an eleven-year-old patient with propionic acidemia having three stroke-like episodes during a period of 13 months characterized by acute reversible hemiplegia and
BACKGROUND
Gamma-glutamyl carboxylation, a reaction essential for the biosynthesis of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors, requires the participation of the gamma-glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX), vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKORC1), and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1). We evaluated the role
The dose required for the anticoagulant effect of warfarin exhibits large inter-individual variations. This study sought to determine the contribution of four genes, vitamin K epoxide reductase (VKORC1), gamma-glutamyl carboxylase (GGCX), calumenin (CALU), and cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) to the
Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome is most commonly caused by the A3243G mutation of mitochondrial DNA. The capacity to utilize fatty acid or glucose as a fuel source and how such dynamic switches of metabolic fuel preferences and
The prevalence of obesity increases and is associated with increases in co-morbidities e.g. type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnea, heart disease, stroke, asthma, several forms of cancer, depression, and may result in reduction of expected remaining lifespan. We have
Extracellular lactate concentration rises following ischaemic stroke in both the infarcted area and in the surrounding ischaemic penumbra. We investigated the effect of lactate accumulation on glucose metabolism in cortical slices from guinea pigs initially by varying superfusion medium to tissue
Unacylated ghrelin (UAG), the most abundant form of ghrelin in circulation, has been shown to exert cardioprotective effect in experimental cardiopathies. The present study aimed to investigate the cardioprotective effect of a linear bioactive fragment of UAG against myocardial ischemia-induced
In this study, we explored the cytoprotective potential of silibinin against oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD)-induced neuronal cell damages, and studied underling mechanisms. In vitro model of ischemic stroke was created by keeping neuronal cells (SH-SY5Y cells and primary mouse cortical neurons) in
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) represents a major unmet therapeutic need. This study investigated whether feeding coconut oil (CC diet) for 26 weeks in female C57BL/6N mice induces HFpEF and evaluated the effect of reconstituted high-density lipoprotein (HDL)Milano (MDCO-216)
