Experimental beta-alaninuria was induced in rats by injection of (aminooxy)acetate (AOA), a potent inhibitor of aminotransferases, in order to elucidate the pathogenesis of hyper-beta-alaninemia. A 27-fold increase of beta-alanine (BALA) excretion was induced by subcutaneous injection of 1 5 mg
Placental uptake and transport of three nonmetabolizable amino acids with different reactivities for transport systems were studied in sheep under normal physiologic conditions. Methylaminoisobutyric acid (MeAIB), which has specific affinity for the sodium-dependent A system transporters, demonstrated placental concentrative uptake
Previous investigators agree on the increased DNA synthesis and destruction of tissues caused by folic acid (FA) administered parenterally. This study aims to clarify whether DNA degradation due to the destruction of cells and nuclei precedes DNA synthesis following FA
The title acid, 3-amino-2-methylpropanoic acid monohydrate, C4H9NO2.H2O, crystallized in the centrosymmetric space group Pbca in the zwitterionic form. The three H atoms on N, which are involved in hydrogen bonding, are ordered. The three intermolecular N-H...O hydrogen bonds have N...O
Vigabatrin (gamma-vinyl gamma aminobutyric acid), a recently developed antiepileptic drug, has been extensively evaluated in the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy. Several case reports demonstrated that vigabatrin affects urinary excretion of several amino and organic acids. Fourteen children were investigated for
