Resumo de Recurso

Questão Responda
Deficient Enzyme Glucose-6-Phosphatase (Converts Glucose-6-Phosphate to Glucose + Phosphate)
Issue G-6-Pase is the terminal step of gluconeogenesis & glycogenlysis, so blood glucose cannot be maintained between meals
Location of Issue Liver, kidneys and SI (liver and kidneys is where gluconeogeneis occurs)
Main Result of Defect Non-glucagon responding Hypoglucaemia
Symptoms Enlarged liver and kidneys, convulsions, distress between meals
Problem- Excessive Glycolysis (Excess G-6-P uses this pathway) Leads to lactoacidosis and acidosis of the blood
Problem- Body Compensates for Hypoglycaemia Increased glucagon/adrenaline to mobilize FAs & TAGs, FAs converted to TAGs & VLDLs, which are deposited in the liver, cheeks and buttocks
Treatment (Babies) Glucose through a tube
Treatment (Older Children and Adults) Glucose drinks at 2-3hr intervals during the night
