545 aa - inactive
515 aa

77
Q

Ketoneogenesis

A

when glycogen stores are depleted such as during fasting and in undiagnosed diabetics

78
Q

Diabetics have high levels of

A

acetone in their blood –> fruity odor of breath

79
Q

large accumulation of ketone bodies leads to

A

profound metabolic acidosis
