Sir: Dichloroacetate (DCA, 15-20 mg/kg per day) was given orally twice daily to a 12-mouth-old boy with congenital lactic acidosis [1,3]. The clinical and laboratory findings were compatible with Leigh syndrome [2]. Enzyme activities associated with lactate metabolism were normal in his fibroblasts
Six patients are described with a combination of early onset of neurological symptoms, gross cerebral changes and elevated concentrations of pyruvate and lactate in cerebrospinal fluid. Although at least five of the six patients appear to have a generalised defect in pyruvate metabolism, reflected i
Sequential "P and 'H MRS was used to measure cerebral phosphate metabolites, intracellular pH, and lactate in normoglycemic and hypoglycemic rats during 30 min of complete cerebral ischemia and 5.5 h of reperfusion. These results were correlated with brain levels of free fatty acids (FFAs), excitato
