Age-related reference values for free amino acids in first morning urine specimens.

چکیده
We determined age-related reference values for urinary free amino acids (in mmol/mol creatinine) in first morning urine specimens from 360 control subjects who were divided into nine age groups: birth to 1 month, 1-6 months, 6-12 months, 1-2 years, 2-4 years, 4-7 years, 7-10 years, 10-13 years, and older than 13 years. Except for taurine and 3-methylhistidine, the concentration of all the amino acids decreased with increasing age. The use of these results to detect aminoacidopathies and tubulopathies is discussed.

Theoretical study of the solvent effects on the thermodynamic functions of Alanine and Valine Amino Acids
Using Gaussian 03, software the thermodynamic functions such as Gibbs free energy, G, Enthalpy, H, and Entropy, S, of Alanine and Valine amino acids were theoretically studied at different solvents. First, the Density Functional Theory (B3LYP) level with 3-21G, 6-31G and 6-31+G basis sets were employed to optimization of isolated Alanine and Valine amino acids in the gas phase. Moreover, Vib...
متن کاملYear-long validation study and reference values for urinary amino acids using a reversed-phase HPLC method.
BACKGROUND Reversed-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) has become an alternative to ion-exchange chromatography for amino acid analysis in biological fluids. However, validation studies for its urine application are limited, and the corresponding reference values have not been reported extensively. We studied the long-term performance of a commercial HPLC method for urine amino acid analysis and established ...

INTRODUCTION The analysis of amino acids in plasma and urine was introduced in Singapore when a laboratory for the investigation of inherited metabolic disorders was established by the Ministry of Health. Reference ranges are required for interpreting test results and making diagnoses. Initially, reference ranges established for Caucasians were used as there were no local data and we were unabl...
