The occurrence of acid mucopolysaccharides in human leukocytes and urine.
نویسنده
چکیده
Acid mucopolysaccharides have been found in urine (1) but have not been consistently demonstrated in the blood of normal subjects. Bassiouni (2) recently isolated a substance from leukocytes which he noted to be similar to chondroitin sulfate. In our laboratory leukocytes have been found to contain appreciable quantities of a substance resembling chondroitin sulfate. A direct relationship between this substance and the similar substance found in the urine has not been established.

Background: Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is an inherited branched-chain amino acid metabolic disorder caused by the deficiency in the branched-chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKD) complex. In MSUD, elevation of the branched-chain amino acids, such as alpha-keto acid and alpha-hydroxy acid, occurs due to the BCKDC gene deficiency, appearing in the blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid,...
