Biochem/physiol Actions: | 3-Hydroxyglutaric acid is a glutaric acid derivative which is the byproduct of glutaric acidemia type I. Glutaric aciduria type I (glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency) is an inborn error of metabolism that usually manifests in infancy by an acute encephalopathic crisis and often results in permanent motor handicap. Studies indicate that 3-hydroxyglutaric acid can be used as biomarker for GCDH (glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase) deficiency. It is believed that the excretion of 3-hydroxyglutaric acid is increased during ketosis, which occurs during glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency. Studies on striatal cultures show that IGF-1 and FGF-2 (bFGF) reduces 3-hydroxyglutaric acid toxicity in striatal neurons. |
