BCH4024 11724 OC F24 E3 Q37: The cаse frоm the lаst questiоn is repeаted here: A three-year-оld boy is brought into the clinic suffering from cardiorespiratory distress following an infection. Previously the boy was admitted to the hospital in a coma and suffered a cardiac arrest. He was extremely hypoglycemic (plasma glucose = 15 mg/dl) and showed hepatomegaly (enlarged liver). Muscle and liver biopsies contain large amounts of lipids. The diagnosis was a carnitine deficiency. On the way up to the floor, someone spilled coffee on the lab report, so you are unable to determine if the patient is undergoing ketosis. Being the good biochemist you are, you can deduce what it will say. Is the patient positive for serum ketone levels, and why or why not?
