A positive ferric chloride reaction was found at routine examination of the urine of a 14 year old mentally normal girl, admitted for complaints of headache and other meningitis-like symptoms. It turned out that she excreted permanently increased amounts of phenylpyruvic, phenyllactic and
A 32-year-old man of Irish descent presented with severe progressive headache and sensorineural hearing loss. MRI/magnetic resonance angiography head scans were normal. A length-dependent sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy with autonomic dysfunction predated these symptoms. Systemic organ
Normotensive and hypertensive headache sufferers were treated with D-phenylalanine, aprotinin or captopril--all inhibitors of endogenous opioid degradation. Inconsistent results were obtained using D-phenylalanine and aprotinin (acute administration at the start of a migraine attack). Satisfactory
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a drug that is clinically effective against depression, insomnia, obesity, chronic headaches, etc. It is only commercially produced by the extraction from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia because of a lack of synthetic methods. Here, we report the efficient
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare autosomal recessive disease characterised by high plasma phenylalanine levels inducing, if untreated, serious neurological manifestations in children but also, rarely, in adults who stopped their diet. The objective of the study was to describe the Background: COVID-19 is not fully known and causes severe inflammation and cytokine storm. It has many symptoms, such as: fever, sore throat, headache, dyspnoea, and diarrhoea. Arbidol was used in the treatment of COVID19, which was the
Over 20 years have elapsed since aspartame was approved by regulatory agencies as a sweetener and flavor enhancer. The safety of aspartame and its metabolic constituents was established through extensive toxicology studies in laboratory animals, using much greater doses than people could possibly
Ten healthy volunteers with no history of aspartame intolerance (6 men and 4 women, aged 21-36 years) received a single dose of aspartame (15 mg/kg body weight in capsules) or matching placebo in a randomized, double-blind crossover study. Eleven blood samples collected over 24 hours were analyzed
BACKGROUND
Nateglinide, N-(trans-4-isopropylcyclohexyl-carbonyl)-d-phenylalanine, is a potent insulin secretagogue designed to restore early-phase insulin secretion. It increases pancreatic insulin secretion by competitively binding to sulfonylurea receptors inhibiting adenosine
Both complement (C) and neutrophils (PMN) are activated in critically ill patients. To evaluate the role of endotoxin in this response, we studied C activation products and PMN cell surface receptors in seven normal subjects before and after endotoxin (USRef 20 U/kg) or saline solution administered
A Phase I trial was conducted to investigate the clinical toxicity, pharmacokinetics, and chemiluminescence (CL) responses of alveolar macrophages (AMs), peripheral blood neutrophils, and monocytes after subcutaneous injection of recombinant interferon-gamma (rIFN-gamma). Six patients with lung
Calcitonin gene-related peptide antagonists have potential for the treatment and prevention of disease states such as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, migraine headache, pain, and inflammation. To gain insight into the spatial requirements for CGRP antagonism, three strategies were employed
BACKGROUND
The 5-HT(1B/1D) receptor agonist sumatriptan is highly effective in the treatment of migraine. However, some patients do not respond to sumatriptan or experience recurrence of the headache after initial relief. In addition, some patients report chest symptoms after the use of
G-CSF (granulocyte-colony stimulating factor) is one of the cytokines which increase and activate neutrophils. These effects have been confirmed by a lot of clinical studies. Although only few side effects have been reported so far, we saw a patient with hypertension, facial edema, and severe
BACKGROUND
Sclerocarya birrea (Anacardiaceae), popularly known as "marula", is used as a traditional remedy for allegedly treating dysmenorrhoea and a host of other ailments such as malaria, fever, diarrhoea, dysentery, stomach disorders, headaches and to facilitate childbirth. This study
