Abstrakcyjny
An adult woman with hypoglycemia, hyperlactatemia, hyperuricemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperketonemia and inability to make new glucose from galactose, fructose, glycerol and alanine was found to have no hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase and deficient fructose-1,6-diphosphatase. Nonautonomous hyperglucagonemia was demonstrated and shown to contribute to the hyperlactatemia and hyperketonemia. A paradoxic hyperlactatemic response to glucose and galactose was observed. Studies of substrate utilization showed prompt adaptation to changes in dietary supply of energy which probably accounted for her never having experienced symptoms of hypoglycemia.
