Duarte galactosemia: how sweet is it?
The pathologic consequences of various inborn errors of metabolism in the conversion of dietary and endogenously produced galactose through the Leloir pathway have recently been reviewed (1, 2 ). In this issue of the Journal, Ficicioglu and colleagues (3 ) report that children (ages 1– 6 years) who have Duarte galactosemia (DG), a variant form of galactosemia, and are on a standard diet have ty...
متن کاملPlatelet Refractoriness and how it is formed
Abstract Background and Objectives Transfusion of platelet has become one of the main treatments for thrombocytopenic patients to reduce the severity and frequency of bleeding consequences. Failure to attain the desired level of platelets in a patient following platelet transfusion is defined as platelet refractoriness. The purpose of present paper is to review and study the mechanisms involve...
متن کاملCoexistence of Duarte 1 and Duarte 2 variants of galactosemia with extrahepatic biliary atresia
Galactosemia is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficient or absent activities of one of the three enzymes involved in the galactose metabolic pathway. The predominant form is classic type galactosemia caused by severe reduction or absence of the galactose1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) enzyme. Coexistence of extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA) with Duarte 1 and 2 variants of ga...
متن کاملHow sweet it is – making the most of carbohydrate metabolism
Like all plants, trees constantly monitor endogenous and environmental cues, and use this information to make adjustments in resource allocation, both to maximize resource acquisition and to minimize exposure to deleterious phenomena. To accomplish this, trees possess mechanisms that integrate and interpret the information provided by internal and environmental signals. Ultimately, these phenom...
متن کاملHow sweet it is: identification of vacuolar sucrose transporters.
Vacuoles have diverse functions within all plant cells. Vacuoles get rid of wastes, accumulate nutrients, and regulate pressure within a cell. They are also known to store sugars. Many of the compounds within vacuoles are actively transported across the tonoplast membrane against a concentration gradient via transporters. The identification of transporters involved in vacuolar Suc transport was...
