Contribution of brain intrinsic branched-chain amino acid metabolism in a novel mouse model of maple syrup urine disease
2024-08-23
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) results from loss of branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) activity, the committed, rate-limiting step of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) oxidation.
