II. Four years old boy experiences problems in dealing with physical load. Muscle biopsy has shown that carnitine concentration is 4 times less then, normal. Lipid vacuoles have bcen found in the cytosol of the muscle cells. What are the possible causes of such a condition of the patient? For the answer: a) draw the reactions of the specific metabolic pathway, disturbed in the patient; b) describe the role of carnitine in this process, supporting the answer with an appropriate scheme; c) describe the molecular mechanisms underlying the process offat accumulation in the myocytes of the patients with this discasc.
