Abnormal fatty acid metabolism in patients with coronary vasospasm.
Although various noninvasive methods have been used to detect vasospasm, none of them are sensitive enough for patients with sporadic attacks. Since abnormal fatty acid metabolism is observed in ischemic myocardium, 123I-beta-methyl-p-iodophenyl pentadecanoic acid (BMIPP), a radiolabeled fatty acid analog, has recently been proposed as a useful tracer for detecting myocardial damage. The aim of...

متن کاملAbnormal fatty acid metabolism in peripheral nerves of patients with pernicious anemia.
Fatty acid synthesis from radiopropionate was evaluated in sural nerve biopsy slices from five normal controls and nine patients with pernicious anemia. The nerves were incubated in [(14)C]propionate, the lipids were extracted, and the fatty acid methyl esters were chromatographed by gas-liquid chromatography. In the normal nerves the radiolabel was found primarily in short chain (C12 and C14) ...
متن کاملAbnormal fatty acid composition and human atherosclerosis.
Eighty patients with aorto-iliac/ femoro-popliteal atherosclerosis were collected to examine in detail their plasma cholesteryl ester fatty acid compositions and to compare them with the incidence of ischaemic heart disease through a 4-year follow-up. Various other biochemical and rheological parameters were also measured to see if these might explain any association between the abnormal fatty ...
متن کاملPrescribing in patients with abnormal liver function tests.
BACKGROUND The prescribing of medicines to patients with abnormal liver function tests (LFTs) requires careful consideration. Every effort must be made to establish the cause of the abnormal liver function.
