Treatment of angiotensin I with ACE (the angiotensin-convertingenzyme) cleaves only the amide bond with the carbonyl group derivedfrom phenylalanine to afford two products.

Explain how the pH of Mr. Bouchard's blood and urine is related to the ketone bodies measured in each of these fluids. 5. Provide a possible "alternative" explanation for Mr. Bouchard's erratic behavior and high blood alcohol concentration. Think outside the box. 6. What metabolic disease do you suspect Mr. Bouchard suffers from?arrow_forwarda 50-year-old woman with a body mass index in the obese range had a weakness in their muscles. she had a history of increased blood pressure but controlled it with medication. the GP has diagnosed her with extreme hypertension and therefore has given her an increased dosage of blood pressure medication but did not have an effect on her hypertension. the biochemical profile shows: - urea of 8.9 (reference range: 2.5-7.0) - sodium of 162 (reference range: 134-147) - potassium of 2.2 (reference range: 3.5-5.0) -aldosterone of 863 (reference range: 90-700) - renin activity of 4.3 (reference range: 0.5-3.5) - aldosterone/RA ratio of 201 (reference range: <680) -cortisol of 511 (reference range: 138-690) -pH of 7.51 ( reference range : 7.35-7.45) Questions: a)what is the medical condition the patient has and what are the causes? fully explain the rationale which is based on the patients history and the test results indicated above. b)which non invasive test will be taken into…arrow_forwardGout—a condition that results in joint swelling and pain—is caused by the formation of sodium urate (NaC5H3N4O3) crystals within tendons, cartilage, and ligaments. Sodium urate precipitates out of blood plasma when uric acid levels become abnormally high. This sometimes happens as a result of eating too many rich foods and consuming too much alcohol, which is why gout is sometimes referred to as the “disease of kings.” If the sodium concentration in blood plasma is 0.140 M, and Ksp for sodium urate is 5.76 * 10 - 8, what minimum concentration of urate would result in precipitation?arrow_forward
- Chemical X is a contaminant present in low quantities in drinking water. Its molecular size is about 80 nm and it may bind briefly with plasma albumin. Chemical X is a weak base with a pka of 5.

Two months later, she was brought to the emergency room by her friend because of extreme weakness and lethargy. She appeared thin and pale. Upon history taking, the doctor found that she had not eaten for several weeks. Analysis of the plasma sample indicated elevated levels of alanine, acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). However, her plasma glucose concentration was low (55mg/dL). She was hospitalized, given intravenous feeding, antidepressant medications and subsequently shifted to a 1800kCal (7500kJ) diet. Her recovery was uneventful. Why did the patient have elevated levels of alanine, acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate and blood urea nitrogen (BUN)? How could the patient maintain her plasma glucose levels within normal limits even though she was not eating?Suggest, why the patient’s recovery was smooth after being shifted to a 1800kCal diet.arrow_forward
