A 9 year old girl drank a very strong syrup she found in the the kitchen pantry.She became pale and extremely weak. Based on your observation, she was verythin, her hair was grey to red, sparse and pluckable. The skin was dry, shiny andgenerally hypopigmented. Skeletal X-ray showed generalized osteoporosis.While her Acetyl coenzyme A reading is normal, further biochemical analysis ofmitochondria revealed reduced ATP presence in her system. Identify her healthand medical issue and correlate those issue to the biological pathways in Lecture14 - Glycolysis, Kreb Cycle and Electron Transport System.

Dysregulation of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH), an enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of glutamate, leads to a variety of metabolic and neurological disorders. One such disorder is hyperinsulinism/hyperammonemia syndrome. 1. Describe the role of GDH including the structure, function and biochemistry of the protein and its contribution to the disease. 2. Discuss the several ways that this disease can be diagnosed in the lab 3. Discuss the mechanism by which pharmacological agents act to help in the management of the disease.
Lactose intolerance is caused by reduced production of the enzyme lactase. A variety of digestive system problems, such as celiac disease and Crohn’s disease) can also lower the production of lactase. If an individual produces low levels of the enzyme lactase, explain why they might be able to tolerate eating dairy products that contain lower levels of lactose (e.g., hard cheeses, feta cheese, and cottage cheese), but will not be able to tolerate foods with high levels of lactose (e.g., milk).
