Five children aged 3–5 completed an 18‑hour supervised fast with measurements of glucose, ketones, and free fatty acids. Two developed hypoketotic hypoglycemia requiring intervention. Compared with published controls, affected children showed markedly reduced ketone production and elevated FFA/KB ratios, indicating impaired hepatic ketogenesis despite normal fatty acid mobilization. Findings show that the c.1436C→T variant decreases fasting tolerance and increases risk for hypoketotic hypoglycemia, demonstrating it is not a benign genetic variant. 000000582 540__ $$fCC BY 000000582 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000000582 650__ $$aZebrafish$$028076 000000582 650__ $$aSynaptic Transmission$$022820 000000582 650__ $$aNeuromuscular Junction$$022853 000000582 650__ $$aAcetylcholine$$014113 000000582 650__ $$aMuscle, Skeletal$$030835 000000582 650__ $$aReceptors, Cholinergic$$025186 000000582 650__ $$aReceptors, Nicotinic$$025212 000000582 6531_ $$aneural transmission 000000582 6531_ $$azebra danio 000000582 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000000582 692__ $$aVollum Institute$$041509 000000582 7001_ $$aMonegon, Rebecca$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000000582 7201_ $$aMandel, Gail$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor$$eMentor 000000582 8564_ $$95c8f0fdd-aa21-40b3-bc50-1d9dac62f0f1$$s5661749$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/582/files/583_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2cdd3002188e8bc61749c4e9f0f0c585e$$31 000000582 905__ $$a/rest/prod/hm/50/tr/73/hm50tr73g 000000582 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:582$$pstudent-work 000000582 956__ $$aGet Accessible Copy$$uhttps://ohsu.libwizard.com/f/requestaccessibledocument 000000582 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
