N-Carbamyl-L-glutamic acid (carglumic acid) is use to study its potential as a replacement therapy for N-acetylglutamate synthetase (NAGS) deficiency and to treat hyperammonemia.
Molecular genetics and metabolism, 79(4), 303-304 (2003-09-02)
In patients with methylmalonic aciduria (MMA), the accumulating metabolite propiony-CoA results in an inhibition of the urea circle via the decreased synthesis of N-acetylglutamate, an essential activator of carbamylphosphat synthetase (CPS). This results in one of the major clinical problems
The objectives of this study were to investigate the potential mechanisms of dietary arginine (Arg) and N-carbamoylglutamate (NCG) supplementation on reproductive performance of sows. Twenty-seven crossbred (Landrace×Large White) sows with similar body weight and parity at day (90±1) of gestation
Journal of animal science, 90 Suppl 4, 337-339 (2013-02-13)
To evaluate the effects of glutamate (Glu) or combination of Glu and N-carbamylglutamate (NCG) on intestinal mucosa morphology and epithelium cell proliferation, 18 piglets weaned at 21 d (BW 5.56 ± 0.51 kg) were grouped into 3 treatments and fed

In patients with propionic aciduria, the accumulating metabolite propionyl-CoA causes a disturbance of the urea cycle via the inhibition of N-acetylglutamate synthesis. Lack of this allosteric activator results in an inhibition of carbamoylphosphate synthase (CPS). This finally leads to hyperammonaemia.
Most conditions detected by expanded newborn screening result from deficiency of one of the enzymes that degrade acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) esters in mitochondria. The role of acyl-CoAs in the pathophysiology of these disorders is poorly understood, in part because CoA
