Tissue methylmalonic acid (MMA) accumulation is the biochemical hallmark of acidemia. The disease clinically characterized by progressive neurological deterioration and kidney failure, whose pathophysiology still unclear. In present work we investigated effects acute MMA administration on various parameters oxidative stress in cerebral cortex young rats, as well influence renal failure MMA-elicited these parameters. Acute was induced gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic utilization over...
