After phenylketonuria, glycine encephalopathy is the second most common disorder of amino acid metabolism. The disease is caused by defects in the glycine cleavage system, an enzyme responsible for glycine catabolism. There are several forms of the disease, with varying severity of symptoms and time of onset.
Hyperglycinemia may refer to one of two related inborn amino acid disorders that are characterized by elevated levels of glycine in the blood. Propionic acidemia , also known as "ketotic glycinemia" Glycine encephalopathy , also known as "non-ketotic hyperglycinemia"
The three main signs of hyperekplexia are generalized stiffness, excessive startle response beginning at birth, and nocturnal myoclonus. [5] Affected individuals are fully conscious during episodes of stiffness, which consist of forced closure of the eyes and an extension of the extremities followed by a period of generalised stiffness and uncontrolled falling at times.

The medical abnormalities that present in the few who do show symptoms are not always clearly related to 3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency. [5] Manifestations of 3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency vary even among family members who share a common environment and genetics.
It is a hypersensitivity to ingesting compounds in soy (Glycine max), causing an overreaction of the immune system, typically with physical symptoms, such as gastrointestinal discomfort, respiratory distress, or a skin reaction. [2] [3] Soy is among the eight most common foods inducing allergic reactions in children and adults. [1]
In mature adults, glycine is a inhibitory neurotransmitter found in the spinal cord and regions of the brain. [15] As it binds to a glycine receptor, a conformational change is induced, and the channel created by the receptor opens. [17] As the channel opens, chloride ions are able to flow into the cell which results in hyperpolarization.
Other names: Vitamin B 6 Excess, Hypervitaminosis B 6, Vitamin B 6 Toxicity [1] [2] Specialty: Neurology, toxicology: Symptoms: Peripheral sensory neuropathy: Usual onset: Gradual onset with slow progression, in the usual case of chronic vitamin B 6 supplementation. [3] Duration: Usually, but not always, resolves within six months from the ...
In general, the normal range for most people (fasting adults) is about 4 to 6 mmol/L or 80 to 110 mg/dL. (where 4 mmol/L or 80 mg/dL is "optimal".) A subject with a consistent range above 7 mmol/L or 126 mg/dL is generally held to have hyperglycemia, whereas a consistent range below 4 mmol/L or 70 mg/dL is considered hypoglycemic .
