3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaric aciduria is a rare human autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficiency of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA lyase (HL). This mitochondrial enzyme catalyzes the common final step of leucine degradation and ketogenesis. Acute symptoms include vomiting, seizures and lethargy, accompanied by metabolic

3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaric aciduria is a rare autosomal recessive inborn error of metabolism caused by deficiency of the mitochondrial enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase (HMGCL). Up to now only a few mutations have been reported in the HMGCL gene. We report the first Italian

3-Hydroxy-3-methylglutaric aciduria is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder that affects ketogenesis and leucine metabolism. The disease is caused by mutations in the gene coding for 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A lyase (HL). To date 26 different mutations have been described. A (betaalpha)(8)

Secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) is an important dietary lignan that is found at very high levels in flaxseed (1-4 %, w/w). Flaxseed lignans have received much research interest in recent years because of reported phyto-oestrogenic, anticarcinogenic, and anti-atherogenic effects. Previously, flaxseed

A straight-chain oligomeric structure composed of five secoisolariciresinoldiglucoside (SDG) residues interconnected by four 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaric acid (HMGA) residues (molecular weight ca. 4000 Da) was assigned to the main lignan of flaxseed on the basis of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR).
