Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Use of sulfatide excretion in differentiating MLD/PD-heterozygotes from MLD-patients and PD/PD-homozygotes. DESIGN AND METHODS: Sulfatide was extracted from urine sediment with chlorotom/methanol (2:1, v/v). The quantity of sulfatide was measured densitometrically (lambda = 580 nm) after thin-layer chromatography. ASA and beta-galactosidase activities were assayed enzymatically. RESULTS:...
