1949 Portland Clin. Bull. 3 69 In acute porphyria, porphobilinogenuria is usually associated with bizarre neurologic manifestations, with sufficient abdominal pain to suggest an acute surgical abdomen.
1961 Ann. Rev. Med. 12 265 The probable relationship between this syndrome [sc. toxic porphyria] and the consumption of seed wheat treated with hexachlorobenzene-containing fungicides is supported by the production of massive uroporphyrinuria and porphobilinogenuria in rats by mixing hexachlorobenzene with the food.
1985 Metabolism 34 106 Supplementation of a low-calorie diet with proteins or with carbohydrates decreased the porphobilinogenuria of rats induced with allyl-isopropylacetamide.
