(a)
To determine: The effect of a fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate deficiency on the blood glucose levels before a 24-hour fast.
Concept introduction: Fructose-1, 6-bisphosphatase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate to yield fructose-6-phosphate. The enzyme glucose-6-phosphatase isomerizes fructose-6-phosphate to yield glucose. Hence, fructose-1, 6-biphosphatase plays an important role in the gluconeogenesis reactions.
