To rescue the deficiency, we added ketogenic substrates to the water in which the embryos develop. This treatment successfully restored vision, promoted feeding behavior, reduced lactic acidosis, and increased survival. Our study demonstrates an approach for establishing effective therapies for PDH deficiency and other congenital diseases that affect early embryonic development.

ITS FORM THE ABOVE MENTIONED LINK

few points about leucine and lysine..


leucine.......

1... is needed for growth in infants

2.. for maintaing nitrogen balance in adults

3....during starvation and stress leucine is used for synthesis of sugar in liver.

4... in infection it helps in healing.

5...leucine regulates protein synthesis in adipose tissue.

6...it helps maintain the muscle mass

7...its important for increased production of GH



now about lysine........


1...lysine is important for growth and bone development in children

2...it helps the body to absorb calcium and if deficient may cause osteoporosis

3...it combines with vitamin c and enhnace the formation of collagen.

4... its important for those who are recovering from surgery or sports injury

5...it interferes with herpes virus replication>>> hence used for cold sores

6...lysine when combined with arginine can stimulate the release of human growth harmones

and so growth harmone increases the rate at which the fat is burnt for energy.

7...it also relieves migraine headaches

8...deficiency of lysine interferes with carnitine synthesis and have adverse impact on fat

metabolism for energy!

this may not be an answer to ur question...but it does have some relevance!
