A newborn baby, Alex, shows abnormal results on a routine newborn screening test. The baby appears healthy but the test results indicate possible concerns regarding carbohydrate metabolism. Screening Results: • Elevated levels of galactitol in urine. Family History: No known familial diseases. Parents are non- consanguineous and healthy. Question: Given the screening results, hypothesize a metabolic condition that could explain the elevation of galactitol in Alex's urine. Describe the biochemical pathway affected, potential long- term complications, and management strategies for the diagnosed condition.

A child exhibits clear symptoms during infections or after vigorous exercise indicating hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) as well as increased levels of lactic acid in the blood, and may initially show as shakiness, irritability or even lethargy. The child has a diet similar to other children, so that is not the problem; however, it is noted that diet supplementation with the amino acid alanine is an effective treatment when symptoms show. Explain at least two possible metabolic rationales including what and how enzymes might be affected and their metabolic and physiological effects producing this individual’s condition.

Combinations of the proteoglycans glucosamine hydrochloride (GH) and chondroitin sulfate (GS) are available as dietary supplements. These over-the-counter compounds are not subject to most federal regulations - as long as they do not claim any specific health benefits - and may not undergo the same testing and quality assurance methods as regulated drugs. GH and CS supplements are recommended by physicians and medical organizations to assist with joint health, based on a variety of studies and trials of the compounds' effects in model organisms and humans alike. Other studies have concluded that these supplements are safe to use but are no more effective than placebo for the relief of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis. please answer the following questions: a) What is proteoglycan (briefly explain its structure)? b) What is the composition of chondroitin sulfate (GS) (is it acidic, basic, neutral)? c) What is the commercial application of proteoglycan we studied and…

GLUT1 deficiency syndrome (GLUTIDS) is a genetic disease caused by mutations in the GLUT1 protein, which leads to reduced or impaired expression of glucose transporters on the blood-brain barrier. As a result, individuals with GLUTIDS often exhibit intellectual disabilities below the normal level. Based on the function of GLUT1 on the blood-brain barrier, explain the possible causes of intellectual disabilities. 70% A ABC Thu 2:05 PM !!!

Meghan is a 33-year-old Filipina at her 28th week of 2nd pregnancy. She called for her obstetrician’s visit due to “flu” symptoms. Records for this visit showed that she stood at 4 feet 11 inches tall and weighed 145 lb. She had a routine glucose challenge test performed and it was noted at 662 mg/dL. A random glucose completed 1–2 days later showed to be at 500 mg/dL. A follow-up HbA1c was at 11.6%. Meghan presented to her obstetrician 3 days after the HbA1c was drawn for ongoing evaluation of hyperglycemia and was advised to rest and take fluids. With the persistent “on-and-off flu-like” symptoms for 3-4 weeks which now included nausea, polyuria, and polydipsia, Meghan presented herself at the Emergency Department. She also added she needs to catch her breath most of the time. Additional symptoms included a 23-lb weight loss over the past 3–4 weeks. Here, she was ordered for CBG and urinalysis. Serum potassium level of 3.35mEq/L. Meghan was immediately started on an insulin…
