Plasma concentrations of N-acetylneuraminic acid in severe malnutrition.
In rat studies, circulating concentrations of N-acetylneuraminic acid (NANA) have been shown to be an indicator of NANA concentrations in the brain and functional brain activity, in relation to nutritional state and stimulation. Abnormal behaviour can be improved with exogenous NANA. In the present study, the plasma NANA concentration has been measured in children with severe malnutrition and c...
متن کاملSynthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid and of CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid in the rat liver cell.
Adult male rats, under starving and normal conditions, were injected intravenously with N-acetyl[3H]mannosamine and after various time intervals the specific radioactivities of free N-acetylneuraminic acid (NeuAc) and CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid were determined in the liver. The specific radioactivity of free NeuAc was high even within 20s after injection; the maximum was reached between 7 and ...
متن کاملCorrigendum: Characterization of a novel N-acetylneuraminic acid lyase favoring industrial N-acetylneuraminic acid synthesis process
The original version of this article contained an error in testing the kinetic parameters of CgNal towards pyruvate, in which the concentration of ManNAc (50 mM) was not in excess. This error was corrected by re-running the assay in the presence of excessive ManNAc (180 mM). The corrected kinetic parameters of CgNal towards pyruvate are shown in Table 1. These changes do not change the conclusi...
متن کاملCharacterization of a novel N-acetylneuraminic acid lyase favoring N-acetylneuraminic acid synthesis
N-Acetylneuraminic acid lyase (NAL, E.C. number 4.1.3.3) is a Class I aldolase that catalyzes the reversible aldol cleavage of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) from pyruvate and N-acetyl-D-mannosamine (ManNAc). Due to the equilibrium favoring Neu5Ac cleavage, the enzyme catalyzes the rate-limiting step of two biocatalytic reactions producing Neu5Ac in industry. We report the biochemical charact...
متن کاملN - Acetylneuraminic Acid Deficiency in Erythrocyte
The electrochemical and rheologic behaviors of red blood cells (RBCs) from a patient with acquired polyagglutinability were studied. The N-acetylneuraminic acid content of the RBCs averaged less than one-half normal. The majority of the patient’s RBCs (over 90%) showed a reduction in electrophoretic mobility and a decrease in binding of positively charged colloid with a widening of the charge-f...
