The pathogenesis of acute fatty liver of pregnancy is unknown, but similarities in the clinical presentation and the histological appearance of the liver with those found in children with metabolic defects in the intramitochondrial fboxidation pathway of the liver suggest that a disturbance in hepat

β¦ Synopsis
A method for assaying L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.35) which permits rate measurements with t-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA substrates of various chain lengths at physiological pH is described. The method is based on a coupled assay system in which 3ketoacyl-CoAcompounds formed by the dehydrogenase are cleaved by 3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase (EC 2.3.1.16) in the presence of CoASH. The advantages of this assay method are its irreversibility and elimination of product inhibition. The assay procedure was used to determine the kinetic parameters (K,, V,,,,,) of pig heart L-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase with several substrates of various chain lengths. The data obtained show the enzyme to be most active with medium-chain substrates whereas K,,, values for medium-chain and long-chain substrates are almost equal but much lower than those previously reported. 8 1~8s Academic press. lnc.
