Workup
During a routine diagnostic workup designed to diagnose mitochondrial diseases from patients' muscle biopsy samples, we observed a substantial (50%-66%) decrease of mitochondrial enzymatic activities related to complex I compared with historical values [thefreelibrary.com]
Metabolic workup including plasma aminoacids, acylcarnitine and lactate, urinary organic acids and orotic acid was unrevealing except for low levels of citrulline (9 μmol/l; n.r.17-53). [doi.org]
Therefore, its presence within the clinical context of possible PMD requires further workup (87). [pubs.rsna.org]
Treatment
There are two main types of clinical studies: Clinical trials determine if a new test or treatment for a disease is effective and safe by comparing groups receiving different tests/treatments. [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Given the high morbidity and mortality of MELAS syndrome finding new treatments capable it is necessary to improve the prognosis of the disease. [patents.google.com]
According to the data so far, having a percentage of mutant mtDNA 30% or > 80% is predictive of a reasonable chance of a good or bad prognosis, respectively [ 103 ]. Any results in between these limits would be of even less certain predictive value. [em-consulte.com]

Antimycin A locks the b hemes in the reduced state by preventing their re-oxidation at the Q i site, which, in turn, causes the steady-state concentrations of the Q o semiquinone to rise, the latter species reacting with oxygen to form superoxide. [en.wikipedia.org]
In this case, prenatal diagnosis based on chorionic villi or amniotic cells represents a rational approach to the prevention of these serious disorders. [em-consulte.com]
