A 3-year-old male is brought to the emergency department by his parents. He is unconscious on admittance and his blood glucose was 15 mg/dl, ( normal 75 - 105 mg/dl). Further testing showed this individual had a deficiency in carnitine. Based on this diagnosis you would also expect which of the following to be true with regards to metabolism: correct answer: This patient would have elevated levels of circulating free fatty acids. A 7-year old female is recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes...

Which of the following enzymes is likely to be active in both the fed and fasted states? (glutaminase, pyruvate kinase, hormone sensitive lipase, glycogen synthase) glutaminase (liver enzyme that is active in both fed/fasted; the rest are only active in one of the two states; in fed state, amino acids come from the diet --> liver, where they require deamination by glutaminase; in the fasted state, amino acids are going to liver from protein catabolism mediated by cortisol --> in liver, dea...
