aminolevulinic acid and Palsy

aminolevulinic acid has been researched along with Palsy in 2 studies

Aminolevulinic Acid: A compound produced from succinyl-CoA and GLYCINE as an intermediate in heme synthesis. It is used as a PHOTOCHEMOTHERAPY for actinic KERATOSIS.
5-aminolevulinic acid : The simplest delta-amino acid in which the hydrogens at the gamma position are replaced by an oxo group. It is metabolised to protoporphyrin IX, a photoactive compound which accumulates in the skin. Used (in the form of the hydrochloride salt)in combination with blue light illumination for the treatment of minimally to moderately thick actinic keratosis of the face or scalp.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Urinary excretion of porphyrin precursors delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and porphobilinogen (PBG) and total porphyrins was measured during intoxication of rats with 2,4-dithiobiuret (DTB), a chemical which produces delayed-onset neuromuscular weakness, in an attempt to ascertain whether or not DTB poisoning in the rat would serve as an animal model of the neurologic symptoms of acute intermittent porphyria."3.67Excretion of porphyrins and porphyrin precursors during neuromuscular paralysis produced by dithiobiuret. ( Atchison, WD; Peterson, RE, 1984)
