Abstract:Organic acids have been determined in aqueous humour and plasma by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in 38 cases of infant death and 4 cases of inherited metabolic disease: one had a complex fatty-acid oxidation disorder with a large urinary excretion of adipic acid, the others had a disorder of propionate catabolism with a large urinary excretion of methylmalonic acid. In each case we found in aqueous humour the abnormal metabolite present in urine. Thus aqueous humour could be a suitable material for retr… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
