butyric acid and Thalassemias

butyric acid has been researched along with Thalassemias in 5 studies

Butyric Acid: A four carbon acid, CH3CH2CH2COOH, with an unpleasant odor that occurs in butter and animal fat as the glycerol ester.
butyrate : A short-chain fatty acid anion that is the conjugate base of butyric acid, obtained by deprotonation of the carboxy group.
butyric acid : A straight-chain saturated fatty acid that is butane in which one of the terminal methyl groups has been oxidised to a carboxy group.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Because butyrate and alpha-amino-n-butyric acid (ABA) augment gamma globin expression in normal neonatal and adult erythroid progenitors, we investigated the effects of sodium butyrate and ABA on erythroid progenitors of patients with beta thalassemia and sickle cell anemia who might benefit from such an effect."3.67Sodium butyrate enhances fetal globin gene expression in erythroid progenitors of patients with Hb SS and beta thalassemia. ( Cohen, RA; Faller, DV; Hurst, D; Lubin, BH; Miller, BA; Papayannopoulou, T; Perrine, SP; Vichinsky, EP, 1989)
" However, application of these drugs at large is not yet justified because a series of questions concerning their long-term efficacy, the correct dosage and timing, their tolerance and toxicity, and the potential long-term dangers, including mutagenicity are still unresolved."2.40New therapies for the haemoglobinopathies. ( Loukopoulos, D, 1997)
