A continuation of the previous post. One more study to post, and my favorite one by far.

"Bro liver lipid metabolism was totally affected bro, bro I promise, bro no don't look at the liver biopsy lipid levels haha"

Today's study topic is "grasping at straws to prove lipids are affected by porphyria"

I question their choice of gene of interest for de novo lipogenesis but whatever

In which I focus on one single sentence saying ALA correlates with triglycerides

Hemoprotein downregulation correlated with lipid droplets, enough said

One more study to follow, running out of space

Here are some studies I've read today. For others to read. Today's topic is metabolomics.

Finally got some leads on lipids and porphyria. Like squeezing blood from a rock I tell ya, no one studies this shit

Some neat info on energy metabolism. Also where I realized with horror that I am actually going to have to memorize the krebs cycle for my work

anyways, there are ways around the pay walls but I am legally not allowed to say in case future employers see this

Profiling of Serum Metabolites of Acute Intermittent Porphyria and Asymptomatic HMBS Mutation Carriers - PubMed

This study aims to present the serum metabolite profiles of patients with acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) and identify specific metabolites that could potentially discriminate between AIP, asymptomatic HMBS mutation carriers, and healthy individuals. The study cohort included 46 female participan …

I'm your run of the mill gay witchy baby scientist. I study #porphyria #hepatology #gastroenterology #lipidomics at the moment. My main goal is to study #AAV and #ehlersdanlos one day in my own lab as a PI

If you know of any journals or scientists on mastodon that post publications in those fields please send them my way!

I'm also a lover of gay #fashion, #tea, #coffee, #sketching, #writing, #videogames, #d&d, and #composing music
