Porphyrinogenesis in rat cerebellum. Effect of high δ-aminolevulinic acid concentration
1. δ-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) uptake as well as precursor accumulation and porphyrin biosynthesis were investigated in rat cerebellum, using as experimental approach minimal tissue units called particles. 2. ALA was shown to be taken up into cerebellum particles by a non saturable process up to 4.0...
