Abstract excerpt
Deficiency of very-long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD) is the most common long-chain fatty acid oxidation defect and presents with heterogeneous clinical manifestations. Accumulation of long-chain acylcarnitines and deficiency of free carnitine have often been proposed to play an important role in disease pathogenesis. The VLCAD-deficient mouse exhibits similar clinical and biochemical phenotypes to those...
