Chapter 23, Problem 4CCS
Kyle Boulard, a 35-year-old male, is believed to be one of the primary causes of the a bus accident on Route 91. Passengers on the bus reported that Mr. Boulard was clearly intoxicated when he boarded the bus. According to these reports, Mr. Boulard behaved erratically, appeared disoriented, and left his seat and staggered down the aisle. Just prior to the accident, he had stumbled into the driver’s compartment. Paramedics found Mr. Boulard in a disoriented state when they arrived on the scene, but noted only minor injuries. A “fruity acetone combined with alcohol” smell was noted on his breath. What follows is a summary of the notable test results:
| General | Blood | Urine |
| BP: 95/58 | pH: 7.1 | Odor: “fruity acetone” |
| HR: 110 | Glucose: 345 mg/dl | pH: 4.3 |
| Ketone bodies: 22 mg/dl | Glucose: strongly positive | |
| Blood alcohol: 110 mg/dl |
The production of large amounts of ketone bodies is often seen when glucose is not readily available as an energy source (e.g., in starvation). In Mr. Boulard’s case, large amounts of glucose are in the blood. Explain why his body is producing

A 35-year-old woman became severely depressed after the sudden death of her husband. Twomonths later, she was brought to the emergency room by her friend because of extremeweakness and lethargy. She appeared thin and pale. Upon history taking, the doctor found thatshe had not eaten for several weeks. Analysis of the plasma sample indicated elevated levels ofalanine, acetoacetate, β-hydroxybutyrate and blood urea nitrogen (BUN). However, her plasmaglucose concentration was low (55mg/dL). She was hospitalized, given intravenous feeding,antidepressant medications and subsequently shifted to a 1800kCal (7500kJ) diet. Her recoverywas uneventful.3.a) How could the patient maintain her plasma glucose levels within normal limits even though shewas not eating?b
