TRANSAMINATION RESULTS IN FORMATION OF METHYLENECYCLOPROPANEPYRUVIC ACID, WHICH UNDERGOES DECARBOXYLATION TO METHYLENECYCLOPROPANE ACETIC ACID; PYRIDOXAL PHOSPHATE PLUS MG(2+) IONS AND THIAMINE PYROPHOSPHATE, MG(2+) IONS PLUS COENZYME-A ARE THE COFACTORS INVOLVED IN THE TWO REACTION STEPS.
Numerous abnormal metabolites were identified in large amounts in the urine of hypoglycin-treated rats... . analysis. ... Ten of them have not been previously associated with hypoglycin administration: these are several hydroxy compounds, including those from the valine and isoleucine pathways, 2-oxo-adipic acid, n-butyrylglycine and isovaleryl glucuronide. These results indicate that the pathways of isoleucine and valine metabolism are inhibited at their respective acyl-CoA dehydrogenation steps, as is the case for fatty acid, leucine and lysine metabolism, as previously shown.
... 14C- and 3H-labelled palmitic acid was administered with hypoglycin to rats, and radioactivity was measured in urinary dicarboxylic acids... . Both isotopes were incorporated into adipic and sebacic acids, indicating a precursor-product relationship. Glutaric acid was, essentially, unlabelled. Preferential incorporation of C-16, relative to C-1 of palmitate ... could be deduced ... . It thus appears that omega-oxidation of the fatty acid intervenes predominantly at an intermediate stage of chain-shortening, when inhibition of beta-oxidation by hypoglycin becomes more pronounced.

... Injection of hypoglycin into fasted rats maintained on a standard diet caused severe prostration, hypothermia and a massive dicarboxylic aciduria. Rats maintained on a diet containing clofibrate appeared normal after injection of hypoglycin, but had a marked dicarboxylic aciduria which was less than that induced in rats on a normal diet. After administration of hypoglycin, butyryl-CoA and decanoyl-CoA, but not palmitoyl-CoA, dehydrogenase activities were strongly inhibited (80-95%) in the livers of animals on a standard diet. Clofibrate feeding decreased the inhibition of these dehydrogenases to about 40-60%. It was concluded that although clofibrate protects against the toxic effects of hypoglycin, some enzyme inhibitions as indicated by dicarboxylic aciduria are only partly prevented.
...Clofibrate feeding apparently protected the animals against the toxic, hypoglycemic and hypothermic effects of hypoglycin...and completely prevented the ultrastructural damage caused by hypoglycin. After hypoglycin administration, hepatic mitochondrial butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase activity was inhibited by more than 90% and, surprisingly, the activity of the peroxisomal enzymes studied was largely preserved. When hypoglycin was given to rats fed on a clofibrate-containing diet, the oxidation of decanoylcarnitine, which was incomplete after hypoglycin treatment alone, remained incomplete with uncoupled mitochondria, but became apparently complete with coupled mitochondria. In the latter condition, there was a slowing of the rate during the last quarter of the pulse of oxygen uptake. Further, butyryl-CoA dehydrogenase activity was much less affected by hypoglycin in clofibrate-fed animals. ...

Treatment consists primarily of gastrointestinal decontamination and supportive care. ... In symptomatic patients or in adults with large intentional ingestions, activated charcoal should be administered. Respiratory support may be required in patients with depressed levels of consciousness and respiratory depression. General supportive care should be provided for treatment of hypoglycemia, hypotension and dysrhythmias. /CNS Depressant Plants/

The present invention provides a chemically stable and novel glycero-compound having one or two triple bonds, one molecule of a glycerol and one or two molecules of a fatty alcohol having a triple bond being linked through an ether bond, an organic group being linked to residual hydroxyl groups of the glycerol, which can be used as a membrane material for forming a vesicle membrane due to its high intermolecular cohesive force, and also provides a membrane forming material containing the same. The glycero-compound has a triple bond represented by the following general formula (1):
wherein n and m each represents a number of 1 to 17 and the total (n+m) is a number of 4 to 18, n and m may be the same or different, and R represents a hydrogen atom, a metal atom, a phosphoric acid group, or an organic group which may be linked through a phosphoric acid group.
