3-phenylpropionylglycine

01/01/1993 - "Limitations of 3-phenylpropionylglycine in early screening for medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency."
09/01/1990 - "All siblings had been asymptomatic; however, one (age 2.5 years) excreted large amounts of 3-phenylpropionylglycine in response to the load and exhibited an organic aciduria consistent with the diagnosis of MCAD deficiency. "
01/01/1993 - "Screening for medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency by urinary 3-phenylpropionylglycine may not be reliable in early infancy because young infants are not colonized with adult-type colonic flora. "
02/01/1992 - "Urinary excretion of 3-phenylpropionylglycine (PPG) is a diagnostic marker for medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency. "
05/01/1990 - "Its glycine-conjugate, 3-phenylpropionylglycine, has now been established as a pathognomonic marker in urine from patients affected with MCAD deficiency. "

05/01/1990 - "This mechanism provides an explanation for the normal 3-phenylpropionylglycine excretion observed in urine from patients affected with glutaric aciduria type II and ethylmalonic/adipic aciduria."
