phytic acid and Adult Refsum Disease

phytic acid has been researched along with Adult Refsum Disease in 5 studies

Phytic Acid: Complexing agent for removal of traces of heavy metal ions. It acts also as a hypocalcemic agent.
myo-inositol hexakisphosphate : A myo-inositol hexakisphosphate in which each hydroxy group of myo-inositol is monophosphorylated.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Adult Refsum's disease, a genetic neurological disorder with phytanic acid accumulation, is due to a mitochondrial enzyme deficiency, but is often considered together with peroxisomal diseases because of phytanic acid (PHYT) accumulation in most peroxisomal diseases."2.38[Peroxisomal neurologic diseases and Refsum disease: very long chain fatty acids and phytanic acid as diagnostic markers]. ( Bernheimer, H; Molzer, B; Stöckler, S, 1992)
"Five cases of heredopathia atactica polyneuritiformis (HAP--Refsum's disease) were treated by serial plasma exchanges."1.28Plasma exchange in the treatment of Refsum's disease (heredopathia atactica polyneuritiformis). ( Dick, JP; Gibberd, FB; Harari, D; Sidey, MC, 1991)
"Refsum's disease (Heredopathia atactica polyneuritiformis) is caused by accumulation of phytanic acid in all body tissues due to an inherited failure of alpha-oxidation of branched chain fatty acids."1.28Long-term plasma exchange in a case of Refsum's disease. ( Blau, N; Burger, J; Gmür, J; Leppert, D; Schanz, U; Waespe, W, 1991)
"A child with Refsum's disease presented with cardiac failure, marked muscle wasting, weakness and inco-ordination."1.28A child with Refsum's disease: successful treatment with diet and plasma exchange. ( Dickson, N; Faed, JM; Mortimer, JG; Peart, DA; Pollard, AC; Styles, M, 1989)
