zaburzeń układu nerwowego u dziec



STRESZCZENIE
Homocysteina jest aminokwasem egzogennym powstającym w szlaku przemian metioniny. Jest niezbędna do prawidłowego rozwoju układu nerwowego, będąc źródłem grup metylowych. Podwyższone stężenie homocysteiny we krwi prowadzi do powstania szeregu zaburzeń, m.in. udarów mózgu, wrodzonych wad cewy nerwowej, padaczki, upośledzenie umysłowego i szeregu objawów nieneurologicznych. Praca prezentuje metabolizm homocysteiny oraz zaburzenia jej przemian prowadzące do szeregu nieprawidłowości. Występowanie hyperhomocysteinemi jest potencjalnie odwracalne co uwzględniono prezentując metody terapeutyczne.

Słowa kluczowe: homocysteina, hyperhomocysteinemia, homocystynuria, dzieci


ABSTRACT
Homocysteine is an amino acid formed in the exogenous pathway of methionine. It is essential for the proper development of the nervous system as a source of methyl groups. Increased levels of homocysteine in the blood lead to a number of disorders: stroke, congenital neural tube defects, epilepsy, mental retardation and a number of non-neurological symptoms. This paper presents the metabolism of homocysteine and the imperiment of its transformation leading to a number of irregularities. The occurrence of hyperhomocysteinaemia is potentially reversible which was considered in the presentation of therapeutic methods

Key words: homocysteine, hyperhomocysteinemia, homocystinuria, children
