Galactosemia
A 5-month old boy presents in your office with hypoglycemia after eating baby fruits such as strained plums. He has a history of
nausea and vomiting, abdominal discomfort and hypoglycemia after consuming fruit juice or baby fruits. The symptoms are
consistent with hereditary fructose intolerance or aldolase B deficiency. Why does this child with aldolase B deficiency develop low
blood glucose after consumption of fructose?

Wähle eine der folgenden:

The accumulation of fructose in the blood stream induces insulin secretion from the pancreas leading to reactive hypoglycemia.
High fructose intake that cannot be converted to ATP because of aldolase B deficiency results in reliance on glucose as an energy substrate with
increased glucose uptake into tissue and oxidation to ATP leading to hypoglycemia.
Upon exposure to fructose there is an accumulation of fructose 1-phosphate that inhibits glycogen phosphorylase and thus reduces glucose
mobilization from glycogen. Rapid formation of fructose-1-phosphate by fructokinase sequesters inorganic phosphate, which impacts gluconeogenesis
an ATP dependent process.
Aldolase B deficiency impairs both fructose and glucose absorption in the intestine which contributes to the hypoglycemia as well as the vomiting
and abdominal discomfort after eating fructose observed with this child.

We're 95% confident that the observed annual Incidence is between 31/100,000 and 61/100,000.
The probability is 0.95 (95%) that the true annual Incidence in this population is between 31/100,000 and 61/100,000.
Because this CI does not include the null value or 1.0, this finding is statistically significant.
