Metabolism of phytanic acid and 3-methyl-adipic acid excretion in patients with adult Refsum disease
Adult Refsum disease (ARD) is associated with defective α-oxidation of phytanic acid (PA). ω-Oxidation of PA to 3-methyl-adipic acid (3-MAA) occurs although its clinical significance is unclear. In a 40 day study of a new ARD patient, where the plasma half-life of PA was 22.4 days, ω-oxidation accou...
