Abstract excerpt
Maple syrup urine disease results from inherited defects in human nuclear genes for branched chain alpha-ketoacid dehydrogenase, a mitochondrial multienzyme complex. Thiamin pyrophosphate is necessary for complex activity and a thiamin-responsive form of maple syrup urine disease is known. Here we demonstrate the use of [1-13C]leucine oxidation to [13C]O2 quantified in breath samples as a means of assessing whole...
