methylmalonic acid and Birth Weight

methylmalonic acid has been researched along with Birth Weight in 4 studies

Methylmalonic Acid: A malonic acid derivative which is a vital intermediate in the metabolism of fat and protein. Abnormalities in methylmalonic acid metabolism lead to methylmalonic aciduria. This metabolic disease is attributed to a block in the enzymatic conversion of methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl CoA.
methylmalonic acid : A dicarboxylic acid that is malonic acid in which one of the methylene hydrogens is substituted by a methyl group.

Birth Weight: The mass or quantity of heaviness of an individual at BIRTH. It is expressed by units of pounds or kilograms.

"Associations between pregnancy fasting plasma total homocysteine (tHcy), cobalamin status (plasma cobalamin, holotranscobalamin (holoTC), methylmalonic acid (MMA)) and mid-childhood metabolic score (MetSco) ((including fat mass index (zFMI), homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (zHOMA-IR) and dyslipidemia (zTG - zHDLc)/2) z-scores)) were investigated in a prospective study of 293 mother-child dyads."8.31Pregnancy homocysteine and cobalamin status predict childhood metabolic health in the offspring. ( Ballesteros, M; Cavallé-Busquets, P; Fernandez-Ballart, J; Grifoll, C; Masana, L; Murphy, MM; Ornosa-Martin, G; Ramos-Rodriguez, C; Rojas-Gómez, A; Solé-Navais, P; Ueland, PM, 2023)

"Preterm birth was associated with lower birth weight and increased MMA marker levels suggesting that gestational age is the stronger predictive covariate compared to birth weight."1.51Elevated methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) screening markers in Hispanic and preterm newborns.
