  1. ‘40 minute famine’®Gareth CAT FOOD!

  2. Presentation and history: • A 3-year old boy, Mark, suffering from stupor and very rapid breathing (hyperpnoea). • His mother reports he has sweats, trembling and occasionally convulsionsafter more than a few hours without food. • enlarged abdomen and hepatomegaly (an enlarged liver). • xanthomas (nodules of lipid) around his body. • An 'instant' blood glucose reading = only 2 mM. • After i.v. glucose, Mark's condition stabilised  further tests

  3. What is the likely cause of the sweats, convulsions, etc? A Hypoglycaemia B Hyperglycaemia C Hypoinsulinaemia D Hyperlipidaemia ‘instant’ BSL = 2mM

  4. Initial blood tests

  5. Where does bilirubin come from? A The breakdown of bile salts B The breakdown of cholesterol C The breakdown of red blood cells D Artificial food colourings in the diet E None of the above What normally happens to bilirubin? A Excreted in urine B Sent from liver to gall bladder C Oxidised to carbon dioxide RBC can only use glucose

  6. What is a high blood [uric acid] indicative of? A A low cellular 'energy charge' B An increased rate of deamination of adenosine C A decrease in ATP D A marked rise in AMP E All of the above Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is not just found in the liver. How could we be sure that the ALT measured here was from the liver? A Measure the Km in an enzyme dependent assay B Measure the Vmax in an enzyme dependent assay C Look at the isoenzyme banding pattern on gel D We couldn't be sure

  7. How could triglycerides be in the blood? A High rate of VLDL release from liver B High rate of lipolysis in adipose tissue C Failure to clear LDL When are fatty acids released into the bloodstream? A When insulin levels are high B When glucagon levels are low C When insulin levels are low VLDL = high in TGs BSL  insulin   lipolysis   FA + glycerol

  8. What processes can lead to increased blood lactate? A  liver gluconeogenesis B liver glycolysis C muscle glycolysis D  muscle PDH activity E All of the above lactate is a substrate lactate is a product of rapid glycolysis lactate is a substrate
