Resumo
Nitric oxide (NO) levels in plasma and urine were determined in 5 girls with ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) of late-onset type, who often developed migraine-like headache or vomiting. The patients were found to have low NO synthesis, suggesting that the low NO synthesis contributes to the clinical manifestations of urea cycle defect.
