Dopamine transporter concentration is reduced in asymptomatic machado-Joseph disease gene carriers
02/01/2002: 1,235 words, approx. 4 pages
Dopamine transporter (DAT) binding is decreased in MachadoJoseph disease (MJD) patients. To further investigate the DAT activity in asymptomatic MJD (aMJD) gene carriers, we performed this prospective study using ^sup 99m^Tc-TRODAT-1 ([^sup 99m^Tc ][2[[2-[[[3-(4-chlorophenyl)-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo[3,2,1 ]oct-2-yl ]-methyl ](2-mercaptoethyl)amino ]ethyl ]amino ]ethane-thiolato(3-)-N2,N2',S2,S2 ]oxo-[lR-(exo-exo) ])) brain SPECT...

Variations in Porphobilinogen and 5-Aminolevulinic Acid Concentrations in Plasma and Urine from Asymptomatic Carriers of the Acute Intermittent Porphyria Gene with Increased Porphyrin Precursor Excretion
04/01/2006: 4,108 words, approx. 14 pages
Background: The heme precursors porphobilinogen (PBG) and 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) accumulate during overt crises of acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), and high excretion of these metabolites often continues in the asymptomatic phase. Methods: We measured concentrations of PBG and ALA and investigated the correlation...
