Nutrition management shifted from a general restriction of intact protein to targeted restriction of lysine and tryptophan. Recent guidelines advocate for a low-lysine diet using lysine-free, tryptophan-reduced medical foods. GA-1 guideline recommendations for dietary management of patients over the age of six are unclear, ranging from avoiding excessive intake of intact protein to counting milligrams of lysine intake. A 22–question survey on the nutrition management of GA-1 was developed with the goal of understanding approaches to diet management for patients identified by newborn screening under age six years compared to management after diet liberalization, as well as to gain insight into how clinicians define diet liberalization. Seventy-six responses (25% of possible responses) to the survey were received. Nutrition management with GA-1 is divergent among surveyed clinicians. There was congruency among survey responses to the guidelines, but there is still uncertainty about how to counsel patients on diet optimization and when diet liberalization should occur.

In this study, fecal and urine samples from postmenopausal female subjects taking a GTP supplement or placebo for 12 months were compared by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry-based metabolomic analysis. The GTP-derived and GTP-responsive metabolites were identified and characterized by structural elucidation and quantitative analysis of the metabolites contributing to the separation of control and treatment samples in the multivariate models. Major GTP and their direct sulfate and glucuronide metabolites were absent in feces and urine. In contrast, GTP-derived phenyl-γ-valerlactone and phenylvaleric acid metabolites were identified as the most abundant GTP-derived metabolites in feces and urine, suggesting extensive microbial biotransformation of GTP in humans. Interestingly, GTP decreased the levels of microbial metabolites of aromatic amino acids (AAA), including indoxyl sulfate, phenylacetylglutamine, and hippuric acid, in urine.

  • Certificate of Analysis
    National Institute of Standards and Technology Certificate of Analysis Standard Reference Material® 2277 Organic Acids in Methanol:Methylene Chloride This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is a solution of 24 organic acids in methanol:methylene chloride. This SRM is intended primarily for use in the calibration of chromatographic instrumentation used for the determination of organic acids. A unit of SRM 2277 consists of five 2 mL ampoules, each containing approximately 1.2 mL of solution. Certified Concentrations of Constituents: The certified concentration values and estimated uncertainties for the 24 constituents, expressed as mass fractions, are given in Table 1 along with the Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) Registry Numbers. The certified concentration values are based on results obtained from the gravimetric preparation of this solution and from the analytical results determined by using gas chromatography. A NIST certified value is a value for which NIST has the highest confidence in its accuracy in that all known or suspected sources of bias have been investigated or accounted for by NIST. Expiration of Certification: The certification of SRM 2277 is valid, within the measurement uncertainties specified, until 31 December 2017, provided the SRM is handled and stored in accordance with the instructions given in this certificate (see “Instructions for Use”). The certification is nullified if the SRM is damaged, contaminated, or otherwise modified. Maintenance of SRM Certification: NIST will monitor this SRM over the period of its certification. If substantive technical changes occur that affect the certification before the expiration of this certificate, NIST will notify the purchaser. Registration (see attached sheet) will facilitate notification.

  • Ketoadipic Aciduria: a Description of a New Metabolic Error in Lysine - Tryptophan Degradation
    Pediat. Res 9: 522-526 (1975) a-Aminoadipic acid tryptophan a-ketoadipic acid urine lysine -Ketoadipic Aciduria: A Description of a New Metabolic Error in Lysine - Tryptophan Degradation R. W. WILSON,'31' C. M. WILSON, S. C. GATES, AND J. V. HIGGINS Departments of Natural Science. Zoologv. Biochemistrv, and Human Development, Michigan State Universitv, East Lahsing. Michigan USA Extract Lysine Tryptophan , , Our studies of a mentally retarded male with extremely elevated levels of a-aminoadipic acid and a-ketoadipic acid in his urine have I Y' led to the description of a new metabolic defect, a-ketoadipic a-Aminoadipic acid a-Aminomuconic acid aciduria. Analysis of the urine and serum from the patient's family revealed that the patient (KW) had a mentally and physically a-Aminoadipate a-Aminornuconate normal sister (CW) with the same metabolites elevated, but the rest transferase of the family appeared normal. reductase \a-Ketoadipic /' acid I Speculation a-Ketoadipate dehydrogenase (a-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase?) The presence of elevated levels of a-ketoadipate in the urine of the plus cofactors reported sibs suggests a reduced level of a-ketoadipic acid dehydro- Glutaryl-CoA1 plus CO, genase. This enzyme has not been purified in humans, but is considered to be a-ketoglutaric acid dehydrogenase in several I nonhuman animals. We are presenting evidence that would suggest * that in humans these may be separate enzymes, or that more than Acetoacetyl-CoA one form of the a-ketoglutaric acid dehydrogenase exists. Scheme 1. Steps in degradation pathway. MATERIALS AND METHODS During the routine testing for amino acid anomalies in Michigan PATIENT state hospitals for the mentally retarded, an unidentified ninhy- drin-positive compound was found in the urine of a 14-year-old The subject (XW) is a Caucasian male and was born in July 1960 male.
