An infant is normal at birth but becomes lethargic after several
feedings. The assigned nurse describes an unusual smell to the urine
but is ignored. Infection (sepsis) is suspected, and blood tests show
normal white blood cell counts with a serum pH of 7.0. Evaluation for
an inborn error of metabolism shows an abnormal amino acid screen.
The report states that branch-chain amino acids are strikingly elevated.
Elevation of which of the following amino acids would be consistent
with the report?
Give this one a try later!
Insulin Isoleucine
Chylomicrons Ketogenesis
