Ethylmalonic encephalopathy (EE), an organic aciduria of unknown etiology characterized by developmental delay, hypotonia, and vascular instability associated with lactic acidemia and urinary excretion of ethylmalonic acid (EMA) and methylsuccinic acid (MSA), has been described in 11 patients. To test

Rats excrete increased ethylmalonate and methylsuccinate when given ethylmalonate in the diet; when given methylsuccinate they excrete methylsuccinate and mesaconate. Tenfold more labelled mesaconate was produced from threo-methyl[2,3-2H2] succinate precursor than from the erythro isomer. Our findings suggest trans-dehydrogenation of

We have presented a method for modeling polarization in hybrid QM/MM calculations. The method, which expresses the induced dipoles as a set of "induced" charges, is based on the induced dipole approach and methodology for calculating potential-derived point charges from

We provide immunocytochemical evidence that the neuronal isoform of constitutive NO synthase (cNOS) is expressed in the rat insulinoma cell line INS-1. Furthermore, using N omega-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME), a pharmacological inhibitor of cNOS activity, we show that this enzyme

Hyperinsulinaemia maintains euglycaemia in insulin-resistant states. The precise cellular mechanisms by which the beta cells adapt are still unresolved. A peripherally derived cue, such as increased circulating fatty acids, may instruct the beta cell to initiate an adaptive programme to
