Biochemical studies in mitochondrial encephalomyopathy
Abstract
The alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex and its component enzymes, lactate dehydrogenase, pyruvate carboxylase, cytochrome c oxidase, succinate-cytochrome c reductase, NADH-cytochrome c reductase, and the concentration of cytochromes and enzymes of beta-oxidation in muscle from a patient with mitochondrial myopathy, encephalopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes were studied and no specific defect was found. These results raise the possibility that the mitochondrial changes in the patient may be secondary.
