Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The deficiency of pyruvate hydrogenase is characterized as neurological dysfunction. The reason for this statement should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Lactic acidosis is a medical condition, which is caused due to the buildup of lactate in the body. Excess of lactate in the blood also leads to low pH levels in the body. The signs and symptoms of lactic acidosis are discomfort, decreased appetite, diarrhea, and muscle pain.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reason for lactic acidosis should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Lactic acidosis is a medical condition, which is caused due to the buildup of lactate in the body. Excess of lactate in the blood also leads to low pH levels in the body. The signs and symptoms of lactic acidosis are discomfort, decreased appetite, diarrhea, and muscle pain.
(c)
Interpretation:
The reason for low-carbohydrate diet should be determined.

- explain with proper details please. Compare the net production of ATP from four molecules of glucose (4 x C6) with that from one molecule of n-Tetracosanoic acid (Lignoceric acid, C24) as a result of oxidative metabolism (show your work). As a storage molecule, which is more energy efficient and why?arrow_forwardPlease help.arrow_forwardNeed help, please. Given that the enzyme pyruvate carboxylase converts Pyruvate into Oxaloacetate and this is an anapleurotic reaction. In the liver, what is most of the OAA converted into under these conditions? Please explain. 1. When blood glucose levels are low and the energy charge in the cell is high. 2. When mitochondrial acetyl-CoA levels are high and the energy charge is low.arrow_forward

- Give Detailed answer..(no need Handwritten)arrow_forwardFill in the blanks. Acetaminophen toxicity can occur at high doses in the liver. because ___________ (what type of molecules?) can become saturated and other routes of metabolism take over.Please explain to me what the correct molecule(?) is and why it is correct. I understand that the glucuronidation and sulfation conjugation pathways become saturated, but am not understanding what molecule(s) it is/are that is/are becoming saturated leading to the other routes of metabolism and acetaminophen toxicity.arrow_forwardAsap.
