A lack of the enzyme glucose 6-phosphatase is one of the causes of the glycogen storage disorder von Gierke disease. Predict three signs or symptoms of von Gierke disease. hyperlipidemia (high lipid concentration in blood) increased amounts of lactate and pyruvate in blood muscle cramps abnormal glycogen structure, with very large amounts present in liver enlargement of the liver

A sample of glycogen from a patient with liver disease is incubated with Pi, normal glycogen phosphorylase, normal transferase (de-branching enzyme), and normal Ě‘-1,6-glucosidase. The ratio of G1P to glucose formed in this reaction mixture is 100. a. What G1P to glucose ratio is expected from analysis of healthy glycogen? b. On the basis of the ratio stated above, what is the patient's most probable enzymatic deficiency?

A sample of glycogen from a patient with liver disease is incubated with orthophosphate, phosphorylase, the transferase, and the debranching enzyme $(\alpha-1,6-\text { glucosidase }) .$ The ratio of glucose 1 -phosphate to glucose formed in this mixture is $100 .$ What is the most likely enzymatic deficiency in this patient?
In a glucose tolerance test, an individual in the resting state ingests a large amount of glucose. If the individual is normal (that is, not diabetic), this ingestion should results in which of the following? Increased glycogen phosphorylase activity in the liver Decreased release of insulin from the pancreas Increased glycogen synthase activity in the liver Increased glucose 6 phosphatase activity
