Abstract:
:The activity of 7 mitochondrial enzymes, fumarase, NAD-malate dehydrogenase (MDH), citrate synthase (CS), valine dehydrogenase (VDH), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH), glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) has been measured in platelet preparations from patients affected by Friedreich's ataxia (FA), dominant and non-dominant olivopontocerebellar atrophy (DOPCA, NDOPCA) and normal individuals. Significant decreases of GDH (P less than 0.01), PDHC (P less than 0.01), VDH (P less than 0.05) and SDH (P less than 0.05) activities were observed in FA patients. Significant decreases of GDH (P less than 0.01), PDHC (P less than 0.01), VDH (P less than 0.05), SDH (P less than 0.05) and CS (P less than 0.05) activities were Observed in ND-OPCA patients, whereas in DOPCA patients only GDH activity was significantly (P less than 0.05) decreased. In 8 of 10 patients with FA and in all patients with NDOPCA the activity of one or more of 4 enzymes, i.e. GDH, VDH, SDH, PDHC, was lower than the lowest of control values. Four of 6 patients with DOPCA had GDH activity lower than the lowest of control values. These results indicate that abnormalities of mitochondrial metabolism is a constant element in hereditary ataxia and suggest that the alteration primary leading to the different types of ataxias should be related to mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, at least at a regulatory level.
