2. Guanidinoacetate Methyltransferase Deficiency: A Review of Guanidinoacetate Neurotoxicity
Abstract Guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT) deficiency is an autosomal recessively inherited disorder of the metabolism of creatine that leads to depleted levels of creatine and excessive concentrations of guanidinoacetate (GAA). Patients affected develop neurological symptoms during childhood, such as muscular hypotonia, involuntary extrapyramidal mo

5. Biochemical diagnosis of creatine deficiency syndromes / Diagnóstico bioquímico das síndromes de deficiência de creatina
Recently, a new group of inborn errors of metabolism, collectively named as creatine deficiency syndrome, was identified. Three genetically determined presentations are currently known, affecting both creatine synthesis and transport. Clinical presentation spectrum is non-specific and includes developmental delay, hypotonia, involuntary movements as choreoat

10. Treatment of involuntary movement disorders with tetrabenazine
Seventeen patients with choreiform, athetoid, or ballistic involuntary movements, or with spasmodic torticollis, were treated with tetrabenazine in doses of 25 to 200 mg daily for periods varying from two weeks to more than six months. Randomized ciné film of the patients' involuntary movements, taken before, during, and after treatment was assessed individ

11. Tiapride in levodopa-induced involuntary movements.
Tiapride, a substituted benzamide derivative closely related to metoclopramide, reduced levodopa-induced peak dose involuntary movements in 16 patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease. However, an unacceptable increase in disability from Parkinsonism with aggravation of end-of-dose akinesia led to its cessation in 14 patients. Tiapride had no effect on l
