Intact cultured fibroblasts from patients with deficiency of long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase release 3H2O from [9,10-3H]myristic acid and [9,10-3H]palmitic acid more slowly than normal. The ratio of activity (palmitate/myristate) is also low and the expression (rate with palmitate2/(rate with myristate) gives good differentiation between affected and unaffected cells. In some patients who have shown hydroxydicarboxylic aciduria when unwell there is reduced 3H2O production from [9,10-3H]myristic and [9,10-3H]palmitic acids by intact cultured fibroblasts but normal 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activities in disrupted cells. The palmitate/myristate ratio is higher than in long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. The basic defect in these patients is still unknown but it is suggested that caution be used over the administration of medium-chain triglyceride. |
