BCH4024 11724 OC F24 E3 Q6: (the first part is the same as the last question) A child presents with severe neurological defects.  Blood tests indicate elevated serum levels of lactate, pyruvate, and alanine. Cultures of skin fibroblasts showed deficient activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex. Suppose the specific defect was a mutant E1 catalytic subunit of the PDH complex with poor binding of its prosthetic group/coenzyme. Increasing the dietary precursor of such coenzyme can be helpful in treating the patient. In this case, which of the following may be helpful?

BCH4024 11724 OC F24 E3 Q36: The next two questions deal with the following case: A three-year-old 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. Loss of carnitine will most directly affect which of the following processes?
