The intracellular concentration of free leucine, isoleucine, and valine and their metabolism were studied in lymphoblast cultures established from peripheral blood of an individual with maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) and a control subject. Branched-chain alpha-keto acid decarboxylase activity in t
## Abstract Individuals with maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) have an inherited metabolic disorder resulting in a deficiency in the branchedβchain ketoβacid dehydrogenase complex. As a result, these individuals have elevated concentrations of the branchedβchain amino acids valine, isoluecine, alloβ
