Urea cycle disorders (UCDs) constitute a group of rare, inherited metabolic conditions arising from deficiencies in key enzymes of the urea cycle – the biochemical pathway responsible for converting ...

THE procedures for the estimation of enzymes of the urea cycle reported by Brown and Cohen 1 have made it possible to study quantitatively the effect of hormones on the individual reactions of the ...

Urea cycle disorders (UCD) are a group of rare disorders that are categorized as inborn errors of metabolism. These disorders have serious implications, often resulting in irreversible neurological ...

The specific symptoms of disorders related to the urea cycle vary among the different types of these disorders. Typically, with complete deficiency of urea cycle enzymes, symptoms present within the ...

Lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by variants in the SLC7A7 gene, leading to impaired transport of dibasic amino acids across intestinal and renal membranes ...

Researchers have revealed the presence of a functional urea cycle in the star-shaped cells of the Alzheimer's Disease (AD) brain. Key results point to the role of the urea cycle in amyloid-beta plaque ...

This release is available in German. The urea cycle is a metabolic pathway used in mammals to incorporate excess nitrogen into urea and remove it from the body. However, it appears to play a far more ...

Scientists have discovered that marine diatoms, tiny phytoplankton abundant in the sea, have an animal-like urea cycle, and that this cycle enables the diatoms to efficiently use carbon and nitrogen ...
