Discovery may pave the way for therapies to treat inborn congenital metabolic disorders. A new Tel Aviv University study suggests there is hope of treating certain inborn congenital metabolic diseases – a hope found in green tea and in red wine. Most people with inherited metabolic disorders are born with a defective gene that results in a critical enzyme deficiency. In the absence of a cure, many patients with inborn congenital metabolic disorders must adhere to a strict and demanding diet their entire lives. This new research finds that certain compounds found naturally in green tea and red wine may block the formation of toxic metabolites.
