Secondary Carnitine Deficiency in Environmental Enteric Dysfunction

چکیده
Article history: Received 14 February 2017 Accepted 14 February 2017 Available online 16 February 2017 score so as to have a composite index for EED (Kosek et al., 2013). In this study, the plasma from the children was analyzed by LC-MS using a discovery platform and 677 metabolites were definitively identified with relative quantitation. Using a false discovery rate approach, 77 of these metabolites were statistically correlated with EED as diagnosed by gut permeability. The authors note the positive correlation

Environmental Enteric Dysfunction is Associated with Carnitine Deficiency and Altered Fatty Acid Oxidation
BACKGROUND Environmental enteric dysfunction (EED), a condition characterized by small intestine inflammation and abnormal gut permeability, is widespread in children in developing countries and a major cause of growth failure. The pathophysiology of EED remains poorly understood. METHODS We measured serum metabolites using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in 400 children, aged ...
متن کاملMyocardial function, energy provision, and carnitine deficiency in experimental uremia.
Cardiac complications are the leading cause of mortality in patients with chronic renal failure. Secondary carnitine deficiency, which is frequently observed in hemodialysis patients, has been associated with cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure and may impair myocardial fatty acid oxidation. In chronic kidney disease, impaired carnitine homeostasis also may affect myocardial metabolism. In th...
متن کاملCarnitine deficiency and oxidative stress provoke cardiotoxicity in an ifosfamide-induced Fanconi Syndrome rat model
In addition to hemorrhagic cystitis, Fanconi Syndrome is a serious clinical side effect during ifosfamide (IFO) therapy. Fanconi syndrome is a generalized dysfunction of the proximal tubule which is characterized by excessive urinary excretion of glucose, phosphate, bicarbonate, amino acids and other solutes excreted by this segment of the nephron including L-carnitine. Carnitine is essential c...
متن کاملRelative carnitine deficiency in autism.
A random retrospective chart review was conducted to document serum carnitine levels on 100 children with autism. Concurrently drawn serum pyruvate, lactate, ammonia, and alanine levels were also available in many of these children. Values of free and total carnitine (p < 0.001), and pyruvate (p = 0.006) were significantly reduced while ammonia and alanine levels were considerably elevated (p <...
متن کاملDicarboxylicaciduria and secondary carnitine deficiency in glycogenosis type IV.
A 3 year old boy developed an unusually mild form of glycogen storage disease type IV. Metabolic investigations showed severe abnormalities of fatty acid and carnitine metabolism. A muscle carnitine deficiency was found. Treatment with L-carnitine orally led to a notable improvement in muscle strength.
