Abstract

Dicarboxylic acids of chain length C6-C10 have been identified in the urine of three patients with Type I glycogen storage disease and one patient with Type III glycogen storage disease. It is suggested that the appearance of these acids in the urine is the result of inadequate gluconeogenesis with consequent alteration in the metabolic oxidative pathway of fatty acids.
