Benzoate and phenylacetate improve prognosis in inherited urea cycle enzyme deficiencies by increasing waste nitrogen excretion as amino acid acylation products. We studied metabolic changes caused by these substances and their pharmacokinetics in a biochemically different urea cycle disorder,

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Although several oral phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitors have been developed for the treatment of COPD, their use has been restricted because of side effects including

A 16-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with nausea, general fatigue, and consciousness disturbance along with extreme hyperammoniemia eight days after the onset of symptoms. Familial history and the high concentration of orotic acid in urine lead us to a diagnosis of OTCD. We immediately

BACKGROUND Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency is the most common hereditary urea cycle defect. It is inherited in an X-linked manner and classically presents in neonates with encephalopathy and hyperammonemia in males. Females and males with hypomorphic mutations present later, sometimes in

Synthetic food preservatives like sodium acetate (SA), sodium benzoate (SB), potassium sorbate (PS) and Butyl paraben (BP) have been widely used in food and pharmacy industries. One of the toxicological aspects of food additives is evaluation of their interaction with serum proteins such as albumin.

Very few studies have investigated the aversive properties of sex steroids in animals. We studied these properties by testing oestradiol-3-benzoate, testosterone-propionate and progesterone in a conditioned taste aversion set-up, in intact female and male mice. Oestradiol-3-benzoate induced a taste

Human urine samples, purified on octadecasilyl-silica cartridges, contained immunoreactive angiotensin I, II, arginine vasopressin and oxytocin. The daily excretion of these peptides in healthy volunteers was 190.00 +/- 38.43 (n = 12), 17.48 +/- 3.09 (n = 12), 63.43 +/- 14.84 (n = 8) and 13.52 +/-

We report a 17-year-old female case of ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency who died of brain edema due to hyperammonemic attack. The patient had a brother with OTC deficiency who had died of hyperammonemia at 17 years of age. She firstly had a symptom of headache, nausea, vomiting and

BACKGROUND Ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency is the most frequent innate disorder of the urea cycle and is X-chromosome linked. The disease normally manifests itself shortly after birth and is fatal when untreated. Due to the different expression and X-chromosomal inheritance the

OBJECTIVE It is unknown what causes uraemic symptoms in renal disease. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients are known to have increased levels of urea, sodium, potassium and phosphate in their saliva compared with those without renal disease. The present cross-sectional study investigated

Phosphodiesterase (PDE) 4 inhibition is a well-known anti-inflammatory mechanism, but the development of PDE4 inhibitors has been hampered by side effects such as nausea and emesis. Local delivery of a PDE4 inhibitor to the site of inflammation may overcome these issues. The purpose of this study

(6-Amidino-2-naphthyl 4-guanidino benzoate) dimethanesulfonate (FUT-175), a protease inhibitor, has been reported to be an effective anticoagulant during hemodialysis without heparin. The anticoagulant activity of FUT-175 is also reported to be short. We applied FUT-175 to 33 patients who were

BACKGROUND Scabies is a common parasitic infestation and is very difficult to eradicate from institutions. Ivermectin is used extensively thanks to its efficacy and ease of use through oral administration; it was approved for the treatment of scabies in humans in 2001 in France. Most of the adverse

Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I deficiency (CPSID) is a rare metabolic disorder affecting the first enzymatic step of urea cycle. We report clinical manifestations of a female case of late-onset CPSID in Japan. An 18-year-old girl was admitted to emergency room due to acute comatose state. Her
