Age-related reference values for urinary organic acids in a healthy Turkish pediatric population.

Clin. Chem. 40(6) , 862-6, (1994)

Organic acid concentrations were quantified by gas chromatography and the individual acids identified by mass spectrometry in urine specimens from a healthy Turkish pediatric population of ages 2 days to 16 years, subdivided into five age groups. We quantifie...

Metabolomic profiles delineate potential role for sarcosine in prostate cancer progression.

Nature 457(7231) , 910-4, (2009)

Multiple, complex molecular events characterize cancer development and progression. Deciphering the molecular networks that distinguish organ-confined disease from metastatic disease may lead to the identification of critical biomarkers for cancer invasion an...

Structural variation governs substrate specificity for organic anion transporter (OAT) homologs. Potential remote sensing by OAT family members.

J. Biol. Chem. 282 , 23841-53, (2007)

Organic anion transporters (OATs, SLC22) interact with a remarkably diverse array of endogenous and exogenous organic anions. However, little is known about the structural features that determine their substrate selectivity. We examined the substrate binding ...

The free radical scavenger, edaravone, ameliorates delayed neuropsychological sequelae after acute carbon monoxide poisoning in rabbits.

Undersea Hyperb. Med. 40(3) , 223-9, (2013)

The mechanism underlying delayed neuropsychological sequelae (DNS) after acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is unclear. There are no effective treatments for DNS. As part of a new generation of antioxidants, edaravone has been reported to improve clinical o...

Standardized method for high-resolution 1H-NMR of cerebrospinal fluid.

Clin. Chem. 41(5) , 744-51, (1995)

This study describes a standardized method for recording single-pulse 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectra from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Quantitative data for alanine, valine, threonine, and lactic acid correlated well with data obtained with conv...

Simultaneous high performance liquid chromatographic separation of purines, pyrimidines, N-acetylated amino acids, and dicarboxylic acids for the chemical diagnosis of inborn errors of metabolism.

Clin. Biochem. 38(11) , 997-1008, (2005)

To set up a novel simple, sensitive, and reliable ion-pairing HPLC method for the synchronous separation of several purines, pyrimidines, N-acetylated amino acids, and dicarboxylic acids for the chemical diagnosis and screening of inborn errors of metabolism ...

N-acetylaspartylglutamate in Canavan disease: an adverse effector?

Eur. J. Pediatr. 158(5) , 406-9, (1999)

We measured N-acetylaspartate and its precursor/product N-acetylaspartylglutamate (NAAG) in urine of patients with Canavan disease using capillary zone electrophoresis. Abnormal levels of NAAG were found in 32 of 43 patients examined. Elevated NAAG was also p...

Abnormal excitatory amino acid metabolism in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Ann. Neurol. 28(1) , 18-25, (1990)

Recently, the excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter glutamate was implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of chronic degenerative neurological diseases in humans and animals. This report describes abnormalities in excitatory amino acids in the central ne...

Elucidation of common pharmacophores from analysis of targeted metabolites transported by the multispecific drug transporter—Organic anion transporter1 (Oat1)

Bioorg. Med. Chem. 19 , 3320-40, (2011)

Organic anion transporter 1 (Oat1), first identified as NKT, is a multispecific transporter responsible for the handling of drugs and toxins in the kidney and choroid plexus, but its normal physiological role appears to be in small molecule metabolite regulat...

High glycine levels are associated with prepulse inhibition deficits in chronic schizophrenia patients.

Schizophr. Res. 91(1-3) , 14-21, (2007)

Prepulse inhibition (PPI) of the startle reflex, a measure of sensorimotor gating, is decreased in schizophrenia. The validity of a glutamatergic, N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR)-mediated model of PPI disruption is presently equivocal. The NMDAR antagon...
