As hepatic glucose overproduction

continues, the plasma glucose concentration reaches a plateau around

A

300 to 500

mg/dL (17 to 28 mmol/L).

29
Q

observable symptoms of hypoglycemia appear.

A

Q

cause of failure to thrive syndrome in infants, is a congenital
deficiency of one of three enzymes involved in galactose metabolism, resulting
in increased levels of galactose in plasma.

A

Galactosemia,

33
Q

TRUE/FALSE: The most common enzyme deficiency in Galactosemia
is galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase.

36
Q

may be added to the reaction to facilitate the

dehydrogenase is highly specific;

A

hexokinase method
