Abstract
Introduction: In vitro studies for searching intermediates of mitochondrial fatty acid degradation, are a tool for diagnosis of hereditary or adquire alterations of the above mentioned metabolic pathway. Objective: To analize the metabolite production in fibroblasts from patientes with very long chain acylCoA deficiency and muscular involvement incubated with deuterated oleic acid. Materials and Methods: Fibroblasts of three patients with very long chain acyl-CoA deficiency and cardiomyopathy and ten control were incubated with deuterated oleic acid. Results: It was found a characteristic profile after incubation of fibroblats with this deficiency. Conclusion: This substrate could be used to perform in vitro diagnosis of VLCAD deficiency with musclar involvement.
