(a)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The reason why individuals having nonketotic hypoglycemia are unable to undertake ketogenesis.

Concept introduction: Presence or absence of the ketosis is a significant cause for hypoglycemia in an individual. Absence of ketosis or nonketotic hypoglycemia often specifies excessive insulin as the cause of hypoglycemia. Nonketotic hypoglycemia occurs due to the abnormalities in fatty acid oxidation and ketone body formation. It is an early indicator of carnitine deficiency.
