Biochem/physiol Actions

Increased formation and excretion of glutarylcarnitin results from a glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, an inborn error of lysine and tryptophan metabolism. Secondary carnitine depletion due to increased formation and urinary excretion of glutarylcarnitine is suggested to play an important role in the neuropathogenesis of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency, inducing excitotoxic neuronal damage and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency is an inherited organic aciduria with predominantly neurological presentation. Biochemically, it is characterized by an accumulation and enhanced urinary excretion of two key organic acids, glutaric acid and 3-hydroxyglutaric acid. If untreated, acute striatal degeneration is often

A technique for the identification of glutarylcarnitine in urine from a patient with glutaric aciduria type 1 is described. The patient's urine sample was partially purified using an anion exchange column and analyzed by a carboxylic acid analyzer fitted with

Glutaric aciduria type I (GA-I) is an inborn error of lysine and tryptophan metabolism. Clinical manifestations of GA-I include dystonic or dyskinetic cerebral palsy, but when the symptoms occur, treatment is not effective. In Taiwan, newborn screening for GA-I started
