Question
Chapter 25, Problem 25.40AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Reason for diet soft drinks that are sweetened with aspartame carry a warning for phenylketonuria has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
- The disease that prevents this biosynthesis is phenylketonuria (PKU). It is the failure to convert phenylalanine to tyrosine. Thus tyrosine is an essential amino acid for those who have phenylketonuria.
- Symptoms include elevated blood-serum and urine concentrations of phenylalanine, phenyl pyruvate and divert the
metabolism in different pathway.

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
