Abstract
A method has been developed for the separation of leucine, 2-ketoisocaproic acid, isovaleryl CoA, 3-methylcrotonyl CoA, 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA, 3-methylglutaconyl CoA, acetyl CoA, and acetoacetic acid by ion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography. The analysis requires 180 min. Use of this method to assess the catabolism of radiolabeled leucine in normal cultured human skin fibroblasts shows that these cells do not accumulate CoA esters, but convert leucine mainly to 2-ketoisocaproic acid, glutamate, and hydroxyisovalerate. In the fibroblasts of a patient with maple syrup urine disease, only 2-ketoiscaproic acid is produced from leucine.
