Deficiencies of carnitine, carnitine acyltransferases, or carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase affect the metabolism of long-chain fatty acids. Many of the symptoms are similar, and include hypoketotic hypoglycemia, low ketone levels and low blood sugar with fasting, and damage to the liver, heart, or muscles due to fatty acid buildup in those tissues. Symptom severity varies with the form of the deficiency. The following abbreviations are used: carnitine acyltransferase (carnitine palmitoyltransferase), CPT and carnitine/acylcarnitine translocase, CACT. Identify each symptom or effect as a deficiency of CPT I, CPT II, or CACT. CPT I deficiency CPT II deficiency CACT deficiency Answer Bank acyl carnitine not transported into mitochondrial matrix acyl carnitine not converted to carnitine in matrix long-chain fatty acids not transferred to carnitine
Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by abnormal regulation of blood glucose levels. If left untreated, diabetes leads to chronic hyperglycemia and numerous pathological complications. Classify each characteristic according to whether it best describes type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Type 1 diabetes Answer Bank Type 2 diabetes linked with obesity and insufficient exercise characterized by insulin deficiency typically develops in adulthood characterized by insulin unresponsiveness typically develops during childhood an autoimmune disease
