Journal ArticleDOI

Carnitine palmitoyltransferases 1 and 2: biochemical, molecular and medical aspects.

TL;DR: Carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) deficiencies are common disorders of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and features of brain and kidney dysorganogenesis are frequently seen in the neonatal-onset CPT2 deficiency, almost always lethal during the first month of life.
Journal ArticleDOI

A gender-related defect in lipid metabolism and glucose homeostasis in peroxisome proliferator- activated receptor alpha- deficient mice.

TL;DR: A pivotal role for PPARalpha in lipid and glucose homeostasis in vivo is demonstrated and estrogen signaling pathways in the regulation of cardiac and hepatic lipid metabolism are implicate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Activation of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Pathway Stimulates the Mitochondrial Respiratory Chain and Can Correct Deficiencies in Patients’ Cells Lacking Its Components

TL;DR: This study suggests a rationale for a possible correction of moderate RC disorders due to mutations in nuclear genes, using existing drugs, and brings new insights into the role of PPAR in the regulation of the mitochondrial RC in human cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Current issues regarding treatment of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation disorders.

TL;DR: Critical questions that are currently under debate in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) defects are discussed, including the use of bezafibrates in myopathic long-chain defects and whether triheptanoin is more effective than even-chain MCT.
