    Abstract

    A 25-year-old woman had been complaining of episodes of muscle weakness, nausea and vomiting since the age of 10. Muscle biopsy showed free fatty acid accumulation and mitochondrial abnormalities. Mitochondrial DNA appeared to be normal at Southern analysis. Biochemical investigations demonstrated: glutaric aciduria type II, decreased levels of carnitine in liver and values at the lower level of normal in muscle, increased muscle carnitine palmitoyl transferase activity, partial cytochrome c oxidase and succinate cytochrome reductase deficiency in muscle homogenate. In isolated muscle mitochondria, cytochromes aa3, b and c were partially decreased, butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase and palmitoyl-CoA dehydrogenase activities were 10 and 54% of the normal, respectively. Muscle cell cultures did not show lipid storage. Low-lipid diet reduced critical episodes and lipid storage in muscle biopsy.

        Calculated set of PubMed citations closely related to the selected article(s) retrieved using a word weight algorithm. Related articles are displayed in ranked order from most to least relevant, with the “linked from” citation displayed first.
      • Compound (MeSH Keyword)
        PubChem chemical compound records that are classified under the same Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) controlled vocabulary as the current articles.
      • Gene (OMIM)
        Gene records associated with Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that cite the current articles in their reference lists.
      • Nucleotide (Weighted)
        Nucleotide records associated with the current articles through the Gene database. These are the related sequences on the Gene record that are added manually by NCBI.
      • OMIM (calculated)
        Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) records that include the current articles as references in the light bulb links within or in the citations at the end of the OMIM record. The references available through the light bulb link are collected using the PubMed related articles algorithm to identify records with similar terminology to the OMIM record.
