A child was born with a deficiency in β-ketoacyl-CoA transferase specifically in the brain. What do you think will be the consequences if the child is fasting for several days.
Explain what will be the consequences of this deficiency.

It's a metabolic disease. This enzyme need for the ketone body metabolizing. Ketone body used as a source of energy when glucose level low in body. When the absent of this enzyme the accumulation of the ketone in the body is called keto acidosis. So this caused the by the physical stree, fasting, illness, low carbohydrates diet etc. Then the symptoms arise like rapid breathing, poor feeding, vomit, lethargy.
When long fasting that time glucose not provide energy to body so that that time body fat break down into the ketone for energy source but ketone can't be used up body because of deficiency of this enzyme so that ketone accumulation in blood and urine. This cause the diabetes.

A number of genetic deficiencies in acyl CoA dehydrogenases have
been described. This deficiency presents early in life after a
period of fasting. Symptoms include vomiting, lethargy, and
sometimes coma. Not only is the blood concentration of glucose low
(hypoglycemia), but starvation-induced ketosis is absent. Provide a
biochemical explanation for these last two observations.

a)During β-oxidation of long-chain fatty acyl CoA derivatives,
energy is released. The following statements describe the way in
which the energy is released and made available.NADH and FADH2
result from the entry of acetyl CoA into the TCA cycle and yield
ATP via the electron transport chain.True/False?

energy is released. The following statements describe the way in
which the energy is released and made available.ATP is produced by
substrate-level phosphorylation.True/False?
