Chapter 25, Problem 48P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The effect of a 24-hour fast in the blood glucose levels before and after has to be explained if there is a deficiency of $\text{fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase}$

Concept Introduction:

Glycolysis: It is pathway which describes conversion of one molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate.  The series involves 10 reactions.

Gluconeogenesis: The reaction in which glucose is synthesised from pyruvate.

$NA{D}^{+}$Molecule: It is the oxidized form of $\text{Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide }\left(NAD\right)$ which exists in all cells and needed for activation of enzymes.

$NADHmolecule:$ It is coenzyme which gets oxidized on reducing another compound. The oxidized form of $\text{NADH}\text{is}{\text{NAD}}^{\text{+}}$.
