IN-CLASS STUDY QUESTION EXPLAIN WHY ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION AFTER STRENUOUS EXERCISE, OR ACCIDENTALLY BY A FASTING CHILD, CAUSES HYPOGLYCEMIA (A LOW BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL) CLINICAL CASE STUDY A THREE MONTH OLD BABY IS REFERRED TO A DEVELOPMENTAL PEDIATRICIAN BECAUSE SHE HAS POOR HEAD CONTROL, IS HYPOTONIC, AND IS NOT DEVELOPING IN A TYPICAL FASHION. ON EXAMINATION, SHE SHOWS GLOBAL DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY (AT THE LEVEL OF A ONE MONTH OLD) AND IS FEELS LIKE A “RAG DOLL” WHEN PICKED UP. SHE HAS DECREASED MUSCLE MASS AND IS NOT FEEDING WELL. SHE HAD A NORMAL EXAMINATION AT BIRTH, BUT WAS “SMALL FOR GESTATIONAL AGE”. HEAD CIRCUMFERENCE IS NOW IN THE “MICROCEPHALIC” RANGE. THE PEDIATRICIAN CONSIDERED A METABOLIC CAUSE FOR THE BABY’S SYMPTOMS, AMONG OTHER CAUSES, AND DID AN EXTENSIVE “METABOLIC WORKUP”. ABNORMAL RESULTS INCLUDED: INCREASED SERUM [PYRUVATE], [LACTATE], [AMMONIA] INCREASED LEVELS OF SERUM ALANINE AND CITRULLINE LOW SERUM [ASPARTATE] LOW FASTING BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL BORDERLINE LOW BLOOD pH *NOTE: THE PHLEBOTOMIST WAS INSTRUCTED TO TRANSPORT THE LACTATE AND PYRUVATE IMMEDIATELY TO THE LAB ON ICE. CLINICAL CASE STUDY: CONTINUED THE REMAINDER OF THE BLOOD STUDIES WERE NORMAL. AFTER THE LABS RETURN, A FIBROBLAST CULTURE IS OBTAINED AND A PYRUVATE CARBOXYLASE DEFICIENCY IS DIAGNOSED. BEFORE THE RESULTS OF THE FIBROBLAST CULTURE ARE AVAILABLE, THE INFANT DEVELOPS A VIRAL SYNDROME WITH FEVER, DEVELOPS SEIZURES AND DIES.

BIOCHEMISTRY OF ATKINS DIET DISADVANTAGES: HIGH SATURATED FAT DIET INCREASES RISK OF HEART DISEASE A DIET LOW IN FRUITS FRUITS ARE PROTECTIVE IN CANCER KETOGENESIS IS NEEDED TO PRODUCE ENERGY BLADDER, GI TRACT, PROSTATE PERPETUAL STATE OF KETOSIS SIMILAR TO LONG-TERM STARVATION SYMPTOMS OF KETOSIS: ABDOMINAL: PAIN, NAUSEA, VOMITING (DEHYDRATION), LIVER FUNCTION ABNORMALITIES NEUROLOGIC: FATIGUE, HEADACHE METABOLIC: K+ LOSS, Ca++ LOSS, RTA HEMATOLOGIC: HEMOLYTIC ANEMIA CARDIAC: CARDIOMYOPATHY (POSSIBLY REVERSIBLE) BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE ATKINS DIET ACID-BASE EFFECTS: KETONE BODIES BLOOD pH A LOW pH GFR RENAL TUBULAR REABSORPTION OF Ca++ CALCIUM IN URINE Ca++ SALTS MOBILIZED FROM BONE PO42- NEEDED TO BUFFER ACID LOAD TO KIDNEY OSTEOPOROSIS CALCIURIA STONE FORMATION BIOCHEMISTRY OF ATKINS DIET ADVANTAGES IT WORKS IN THE SHORT RUN TG AND HDL CHOLESTEROL LEVELS IMPROVED RISK/BENEFIT ANALYSIS: PROBABLY NOT FAVORABLE WEIGHT LOSS NOT SUSTAINED (UNLESS YOU STAY ON THE DIET) IT’S UNHEALTHY CAN RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT MORBIDITY CAN RESULT IN PREMATURE DEATH BIOCHEMISTRY OF THE ATKINS DIET DESPITE ALL OF THE FANCY BIOCHEMISTRY, THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT INCREASED FAT IN THE DIET CAUSES EARLY AND SUSTAINED SATIETY, WHICH ULTIMATELY RESULTS IN LESS DAILY INTAKE OF CALORIES. IT’S STILL A CONSEQUENCE OF THE “FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS” (ENERGY IN – ENERGY OUT). THERE ARE NO SAFE FAD DIETS THAT BOTH WORK AND ARE HEALTHY AT THE SAME TIME. YOU WILL ALWAYS GAIN THE WEIGHT BACK AFTER YOU STOP THE DIET. A CLINICAL CASE STUDY A 20 YEAR OLD, 5’ 4”, 180# FEMALE COLLEGE STUDENT WHO HAS BEEN OVERWEIGHT SINCE THE AGE OF 3 YEARS VISITS THE INFIRMARY BECAUSE SHE HASN’T BEEN FEELING WELL LATELY. SHE HAS BEEN HAVING HEADACHES AND CONSTIPATION FOR A FEW MONTHS AND SOMETIMES SHE DOESN’T THINK AS CLEARLY AS SHE USED TO. HER PERIODS HAVE BECOME IRREGULAR AND NOW SHE HAS ABDOMINAL PAIN, BACK PAIN AND RED URINE. HER FRIENDS HAVE TOLD HER THAT HER BREATH SMELLS “FUNNY”. IN TAKING A HISTORY, YOU LEARN THAT SHE HAS BEEN EXPERIMENTING WITH THE ATKINS DIET FOR THE PAST 5 OR 6 MONTHS AND HAS LOST OVER 40 POUNDS. CLINICAL CASE STUDY: CONTINUED HER PHYSICAL EXAM IS GENERALLY NORMAL EXCEPT FOR SOME ABDOMINAL TENDERNESS AND A SWEET SMELL TO HER BREATH. LABORATORY STUDIES SHOWED A LOW INSULIN LEVEL, A BLOOD GLUCOSE OF 60 mg/dL (LOW), AND AN ABNORMALLY LOW BLOOD pH. A URINALYSIS SHOWED RED BLOOD CELLS, A LOW pH, AND A MARKEDLY ELEVATED CALCIUM/CREATININE RATIO. HER CHOLESTEROL LEVEL IS 190 mg/dL. AN ABDOMINAL X-RAY (“KUB”) SHOWED SOME KIDNEY STONES CLINICAL CASE STUDY: CONTINUED QUESTIONS: WHY DOES HER BREATH SMELL SWEET? WHY IS SHE HAVING TROUBLE THINKING? WHY ARE HER INSULIN LEVELS LOW? WHY IS HER BLOOD pH LOW? WHY IS HER URINARY CALCIUM EXCRETION INCREASED? WHY IS HER URINARY pH DECREASED? WHY HASN’T THE CHOLESTEROL LEVEL CHANGED MUCH, DESPITE THE FACT THAT SHE’S EATING MORE FAT?
