Table 1. Median values and ranges of succinate, glutathione, glutamate, and ATP/ADP/AMP levels measured by 1D 1H-HRMAS spectroscopy in intact tissue samples of 28 apparently sporadic, SDHx, and VHL-related PHEOs/PGLs. Quantification results are expressed as nmol/mg of tissue.
Sporadic | SDHx | VHL | P Sporadic vs SDHx | P Sporadic vs VHL | P SDHx vs VHL | |
Succinate | 0.03 (0–0.06) | 3,6 (0.9–9.07) | 0.06 (0.03–0.12) | 0.000003 | 0.02 | 0.0001 |
Glutathione | 0.04 (0.03–0.22) | 0.15 (0.05–0.39) | 0.32 (0.17–0.43) | 0.01 | 0.003 | 0.08 |
Glutamate | 1.36 (0.23–2.55) | 0.67 (0.13–1.52) | 1.49 (0.88–2.18) | 0.003 | 1 | 0.0007 |
ATP/ADP/AMP | 0.10 (0.03–0.18) | 0.05 (0–0.21) | 0.16 (0.06–0.29) | 0.1 | 0.1 | 0.01 |
