If your patient has classic carnitine palmitoyltransferase II deficiency,which one of the following laboratory test results would you expect to observe
A: Elevated blood acylcarnitine levels
B: Elevated ketone bodies in the blood
C: Elevated blood glucose levels
D: Low CPK blood levels
E: Reduced blood fatty acid levels
A: Elevated blood acylcarnitine levels
B: Elevated ketone bodies in the blood
C: Elevated blood glucose levels
D: Low CPK blood levels
E: Reduced blood fatty acid levels
举一反三
- The main fatty acids that elevated blood cholesterol levels are：
- The patient in the previous question had very high blood glucose levels, and his urine also contained high blood glucose levels. The high blood glucose levels can lead to cerebral dysfunction owing to which one of the following A: Dehydration B: Reduced lipid concentrations in the blood C: Increased lipid concentrations in the blood D: Hyperhydration E: High ammonia levels F: Low ammonia levels
- You are examining a patient who exhibits fasting hypoglycemia and need to decide between a carnitine deficiency and a carnitine acyltransferase 2 deficiency as the possible cause. You order a blood test to specifically examine the levels of which one of the following?
- The metabolic changes in the body during starvation are A: hepatic gluconeogenesis increases B: free fatty acids in blood reduce C: the levels of ketone bodies in blood increase D: hepatic glycogen breakdown enhances
- What would be the consequences of inhibiting the carnitine shuttle which transports fatty acids into the mitochondria? A: accumulation of fat droplets in liver and muscle. B: Increase in blood glucose concentration. C: Increase in fatty acid synthesis in the liver. D: Low levels of long chain free fatty acids in the blood.
