Research Abstract |
The translational research was conducted on intractable nuero-metablic disorders such as congenital diseases including carnitine carrier deficiency, citrin deficiency and chorea acantosis, and maltifactorial diseases including cancer cachexia, eating disorders and mood disorders. JVS mouse and animal models of cancer cachexia and citrin deficiency were created and used on pathological analysis. New treatment methods, such as acetylcarnitine, pyruvic acid, ghrelin agonist and Rikkunshito, were created or applied clinically from this research work.
