Biochemistry Tricky Questions

A chronic alcoholic develops severe memory loss with marked confabulation. Deficiency of which of the
following vitamins would be most likely to contribute to the neurologic damage underlying these
symptoms?

A. Folic acid

B. Niacin

C. Riboflavin

D. Thiamine

E. Vitamin B12

Explanation:

The correct answer is D. Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome refers to the constellation of neurologic
symptoms caused by thiamine deficiency. Among these, a severe memory deficit, which the patient may
attempt to cover by making up bizarre explanations (confabulation), is prominent. Anatomical damage
to the mamillary bodies and periventricular structures has been postulated as the cause. In the
U.S., severe thiamine deficiency is seen most commonly in chronic alcoholics. Thiamine deficiency
can also damage peripheral nerves ("dry" beriberi) and the heart ("wet" beriberi).

Folic acid deficiency (choice A) produces megaloblastic anemia without neurologic symptoms.

Niacin deficiency (choice B) produces pellagra, characterized by depigmenting dermatitis, chronic
diarrhea, and anemia.

Riboflavin deficiency (choice C) produces ariboflavinosis, characterized by glossitis, corneal
opacities, dermatitis, and erythroid hyperplasia.

Vitamin B12 deficiency (choice E) produces megaloblastic anemia accompanied by degeneration of the
posterolateral spinal cord.

A 25-year-old woman with sickle cell anemia complains of steady pain in her right upper quadrant with
radiation to the right shoulder, especially after large or fatty meals. Her physician diagnoses
gallstones. Of which of the following compounds are these stones most likely composed?

A. Calcium bilirubinate

B. Calcium oxalate

C. Cholesterol

D. Cholesterol and calcium bilirubinate

E. Cystine

Explanation:

The correct answer is A. Bilirubin is a degradative product of hemoglobin metabolism. Bilirubin
(pigment) stones are specifically associated with excessive bilirubin production in hemolytic
anemias, including sickle cell anemia. Bilirubin stones can also be seen in hepatic cirrhosis and
liver fluke infestation.

Calcium oxalate stones (choice B) and cystine stones (choice E) are found in the kidney, rather than
the gallbladder.

Pure cholesterol stones (choice C) are less common than mixed gallstones, but have the same risk
factors, including obesity and multiple pregnancies.

Mixed stones (choice D) are the common "garden variety" gallstones, found especially in obese,
middle aged patients, with a female predominance.

Two sisters are diagnosed with hemolytic anemia. Their older brother was previously diagnosed with the
same disorder. Two other brothers are asymptomatic. The mother and father are second cousins.
Deficiency of which of the following enzymes would be most likely to cause this disorder?

A. Debranching enzyme

B. Glucose-6-phosphatase

C. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase

D. Muscle phosphorylase

E. Pyruvate kinase

Explanation:

The correct answer is E. In general, you should associate hemolytic anemia with defects in
glycolysis or the hexose monophosphate shunt (pentose phosphate pathway). Only two enzymes of those
listed in the answer choices specifically involve these pathways and cause hemolytic anemia:
pyruvate kinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD)
deficiency is inherited as an X-linked recessive trait, so females would not be affected. Pyruvate
kinase is a glycolytic enzyme; pyruvate kinase deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder,
affecting males and females approximately equally. If this enzyme is deficient, red cells have
trouble producing enough ATP to maintain the Na+/K+ pump on the plasma membrane, secondarily causing
swelling and lysis.

Debranching enzyme (choice A) defects produce Cori's disease, one of the glycogen storage diseases.

Defects in glucose-6-phosphatase (choice B) produce Von Gierke's disease, one of the glycogen
storage diseases.

Glucose-6-phosphatase dehydrogenase (choice C) deficiency produces an X-linked hemolytic anemia.

Defects in muscle phosphorylase (choice D) produce McArdle's disease, one of the glycogen storage
diseases.

Which of the following amino acids would most likely be found on the surface of a protein molecule?

A. Alanine

B. Arginine

C. Isoleucine

D. Leucine

E. Phenylalanine

F. Tryptophan

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. This question requires two logical steps: first, you need to appreciate
that the hydrophilic amino acids are more likely to appear on the surface of a protein molecule,
while hydrophobic amino acids are most likely be found in its interior. Next, you need to figure out
which of the amino acids listed is hydrophilic. If you recall that arginine is a basic amino acid
that is positively charged at physiologic pH, you should be able to answer this question right away.

All of the other choices have neutral side chains and are uncharged at physiologic pH. They would
most likely be found in the hydrophobic core of the protein structure. Alanine (choice A),
isoleucine (choice C), and leucine (choice D) all have aliphatic side chains; phenylalanine (choice
E) and tryptophan (choice F) have aromatic side chains.

A Southeast Asian immigrant child is noted to be severely retarded. Physical examination reveals a pot-
bellied, pale child with a puffy face. The child's tongue is enlarged. Dietary deficiency of which
of the following substances can produce this pattern?

A. Calcium

B. Iodine

C. Iron

D. Magnesium

E. Selenium

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. The disease is cretinism, characterized by a profound lack of thyroid
hormone in a developing child, leading to mental retardation and the physical findings described in
the question stem. Cretinism can be due to dietary deficiency of iodine (now rare in this country
because of iodized salt), to developmental failure of thyroid formation, or to a defect in thyroxine
synthesis.

Calcium deficiency (choice A) in children can cause osteoporosis or osteopenia.

Iron deficiency (choice C) can cause a hypochromic, microcytic anemia.

Magnesium deficiency (choice D) is uncommon, but can cause decreased reflexes, and blunts the
parathyroid response to hypocalcemia.

Selenium deficiency (choice E) is rare, but may cause a reversible form of cardiomyopathy.

To which of the following diseases is pyruvate kinase deficiency most similar clinically?

A. α-thalassemia

B. β-thalassemia

C. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency

D. Hereditary spherocytosis

E. Iron deficiency anemia

Explanation:

The correct answer is C. Both pyruvate kinase deficiency and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
deficiency are red cell enzyme deficiencies characterized clinically by long "normal" periods
interspersed with episodes of hemolytic anemia triggered by infections and oxidant drug injury
(antimalarial drugs, sulfonamides, nitrofurans). In both of these conditions, the cell morphology
between hemolytic episodes is usually normal or close to normal.

The α(choice A) and β(choice B) thalassemias, in their major forms, are characterized by
persistent severe anemia. In the trait forms, they are charactertized by mild anemia.

Hereditary spherocytosis (choice D) is characterized by intermittent hemolysis, but, unlike pyruvate
kinase deficiency and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, oxidant drugs are not a specific
trigger for hemolysis.

Iron deficiency anemia (choice E) is characterized by chronic anemia with hypochromic, microcytic
erythrocytes.

A baby that was apparently normal at birth begins to show a delay in motor development by 3 months of
age. At one year of age, the child begins to develop spasticity and writhing movements. At age three,
compulsive biting of fingers and lips and head-banging appear. At puberty, the child develops
arthritis, and death from renal failure occurs at age 25. This patient's condition is due to an
enzyme deficiency in which of the following biochemical pathways?

A. Ganglioside metabolism

B. Monosaccharide metabolism

C. Purine metabolism

D. Pyrimidine metabolism

E. Tyrosine metabolism

Explanation:

The correct answer is C. The patient has a classical case of Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, an X-linked
disorder due to severe deficiency of the purine salvage enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl
transferase (HPRT). This defect is associated with excessive de novo purine synthesis,
hyperuricemia, and the clinical signs and symptoms described in the question stem. The biochemical
basis of the often striking self-mutilatory behavior (which may require restraints and even tooth
extraction) has never been established. Treatment with allopurinol inhibits xanthine oxidase and
reduces gouty arthritis, urate stone formation, and urate nephropathy. It does not, however, modify
the neurologic/psychiatric presentation.

An obese individual is brought to the emergency room by a concerned friend. The patient has been on a
self-imposed "starvation diet" for four months, and has lost 60 pounds while consuming only water
and vitamin pills. If extensive blood studies were performed, which of the following would be
expected to be elevated?

A. Acetoacetic acid

B. Alanine

C. Bicarbonate

D. Chylomicrons

E. Glucose

Explanation:

The correct answer is A. Long-term starvation induces many biochemical changes. Much of the body's
energy requirements are normally supplied by serum glucose, but in starvation are supplied by both
glucose and lipid-derived ketone bodies, including acetoacetic acid and beta-hydroxybutyric acid.
Glucose cannot be synthesized from lipids, and is instead made from amino acids such as alanine in
the process of gluconeogenesis.

Serum alanine (choice B) drops dramatically in starvation, due to its conversion to glucose.

Bicarbonate (choice C) levels drop as the bicarbonate buffers the hydrogen ions produced by the
ketone bodies.

Chylomicrons (choice D) are the lipid form seen after absorption of dietary fat, and would drop
because the person is not feeding.

Glucose (choice E) is maintained in the blood at a much lower than normal level during starvation.

A 15-year-old girl is seen by a dermatologist for removal of multiple squamous cell carcinomas of the
skin. The patient has nearly white hair, pink irises, very pale skin, and a history of burning easily
when exposed to the sun. This patient's condition is caused by a disorder involving which of the
following substances?

A. Aromatic amino acids

B. Branched chain amino acids

C. Glycolipids

D. Glycoproteins

E. Sulfur-containing amino acids

Explanation:

The correct answer is A. The disease is albinism. The most common form of albinism is caused by a
deficiency of copper-dependent tyrosinase (tyrosine hydroxylase), blocking the production of melanin
from the aromatic amino acid tyrosine. Affected individuals lack melanin pigment in skin, hair, and
eyes, and are prone to develop sun-induced skin cancers, including both squamous cell carcinomas and
melanomas.

Maple syrup urine disease is an example of a disorder of branched chain amino acids (choice B)
causing motor abnormalities and seizures.

Tay-Sachs disease is an example of a disorder of glycolipids (choice C). In this disorder, a
deficiency of hexosaminidase A leads to accumulation of ganglioside GM2.

Hunter's disease is an example of a disorder of glycoproteins (choice D). This mucopolysaccharidosis
is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait.

Homocystinuria disease is an example of a disorder of sulfur-containing amino acids (choice E).

A 7-year-old boy is referred to a specialty clinic because of digestive problems. He often experiences
severe abdominal cramps after eating a high fat meal. He is worked up and diagnosed with a genetic
defect resulting in a deficiency of lipoprotein lipase. Which of the following substances would most
likely be elevated in this patient's plasma following a fatty meal?

A. Albumin-bound free fatty acids

B. Chylomicrons

C. HDL

D. LDL

E. Unesterified fatty acids

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. After eating a high fat meal, triglycerides are processed by the intestinal
mucosal cells. They are assembled in chylomicrons and eventually sent into the circulation for
delivery to adipocytes and other cells. Chylomicrons are too large to enter cells, but are degraded
while in the circulation by lipoprotein lipase. A defect in this enzyme would result in the
accumulation of chylomicrons in the plasma.

Albumin-bound free fatty acids (choice A) is incorrect because fatty acids leave the intestine
esterified as triglycerides in chylomicrons.

HDL (choice C) is not a carrier of dietary fat from the intestine.

LDL (choice D) would be not be elevated in this patient after a high fat meal. However, VLDL would
be elevated if the patient ate a high carbohydrate meal. In this situation, the carbohydrate would
be converted into fat in the liver and sent out into circulation as VLDL. VLDL would be unable to be
degraded to LDL and, therefore, would accumulate.

A defect in lipoprotein lipase would cause a decrease, not an elevation of unesterified fatty acids
(choice E), since the chylomicrons contain esterified fatty acids.

A 38-year-old man in a rural area presents to a physician for an employment physical. Ocular examination
reveals small opaque rings on the lower edge of the iris in the anterior chamber of the eye. Nodular
lesions are found on his Achilles tendon. Successful therapy should be aimed at increasing which of
the following gene products in hepatocyte cell membranes?

A. Apo B-100

B. Apo B-100 receptor

C. Apo E

D. Apo E receptor

E. Lecithin cholesterol acyltransferase

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. This man has characteristic signs of familial hypercholesterolemia, an
autosomal dominant disorder affecting about 1 in 500 persons. The xanthomas on the Achilles tendon
and the arcus lipoides (the opaque rings in the eye) are pathognomonic. Affected individuals have
very high LDL cholesterol because of deficient endocytosis of LDL particles by LDL receptors. These
receptors recognize the apo B-100 protein cotransported with cholesterol esters in LDL. Treatments
aim at increasing genetic expression of LDL receptors (i.e., apo B-100 receptors) to enhance
clearance of LDL particles. Dietary changes, a resin drug, niacin, or an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor
could be tried.

Apo B-100 (choice A) is the apoprotein of liver-produced lipoproteins such as VLDL, IDL and LDL. It
is therefore not in the hepatic cell membranes, and it might be expected to decrease with decreasing
concentrations of circulating LDL.

Apo E (choice C) is an apoprotein found on VLDL, IDL, and chylomicrons, allowing "scavenging" by the
liver of remnants or of the lipoprotein itself. It is not found in the hepatocyte membrane.

Apo E receptor (choice D) would actually be increased by the treatment with hypocholesterolemic
agents. However, the apo E receptor is not involved in the scavenging of LDL particles.

Lecithin cholesterol acyl transferase (choice E) or LCAT, is activated by apo AI, and esterifies
free cholesterol in plasma. Plasma levels of HDL cholesterol and apo AI are inversely related to the
risk of coronary heart disease.

Which of the following structures is common to all sphingolipids?

A. Carnitine

B. Ceramide

C. Diacylglycerol

D. Sphingomyelin

E. Squalene

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. Sphingolipids are a class of lipids that are structural components of
membranes. Ceramide is a component of sphingolipids. Ceramide is composed of sphingosine, a long-
chain amino alcohol with a saturated fatty acid linked to the amino group. Sphingolipids can be
differentiated on the basis of the "X" group that is esterified to the terminal hydroxyl group of
ceramide.

Carnitine (choice A) is involved in the oxidation of fatty acids. Carnitine is important in
transferring fatty acids from the cytoplasm into the mitochondria (the carnitine shuttle).

Diacylglycerol (choice C) is the alcohol common to all phospholipids. The second alcohol (e.g.,
choline, ethanolamine, serine) contributes the polar head that distinguishes the different classes
of phospholipids. Like sphingolipids, phospholipids are found in membranes.

Sphingomyelin (choice D) is a sphingolipid with phosphocholine as its "X" group. It is a component
of the myelin sheath.

Squalene (choice E) is a 30-carbon intermediate in the synthesis of cholesterol.

A 47-year-old male patient presents with painful arthritis in the right big toe and uric acid renal
stones. He has been taking allopurinol for his condition. What biochemical defect would likely be
found in this patient?

A. A defect in urea synthesis

B. An abnormality of the purine degradation pathway

C. An inability to synthesize non-essential amino acids

D. Defective topoisomerases

E. Increased levels of leukotrienes

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. This patient has gout, characterized by painful joints due to the
precipitation of uric acid crystals caused by excessive production of uric acid (a minority of cases
are associated with underexcretion of uric acid). Kidney disease is also seen due to accumulation of
uric acid in the tubules. The disease mostly affects males, and is frequently treated with
allopurinol, an inhibitor of xanthine oxidase. Xanthine oxidase catalyzes the sequential oxidation
of hypoxanthine to xanthine to uric acid.

A defect in urea synthesis (choice A) would result in the accumulation of ammonia.

Phenylketonuria is a disease in which tyrosine cannot be produced from phenylalanine (choice C). It
is characterized by a musty body odor and mental retardation.

Defective topoisomerases (choice D) would affect DNA unwinding, and therefore replication.

Leukotrienes (choice E) are potent constrictors of smooth muscle and would more likely lead to
bronchoconstriction.

A newborn vomits after each feeding of milk-based formula, and does not gain weight. Biochemical testing
reveals a severe deficiency of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase, consistent with homozygosity.
If this condition goes untreated, what is the likely outcome for this patient?

A. Benign disease except for cataract formation

B. Chronic emphysema appearing in early adulthood

C. Chronic renal failure appearing in adolescence

D. Death in infancy

E. Gastrointestinal symptoms that remit with puberty

Explanation:

The correct answer is D. Galactosemia occurs in two very different clinical forms. Deficiency of
galactokinase produces very mild disease with the only significant complication being cataract
formation. In contrast, homozygous deficiency of galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase produces
severe disease culminating in death in infancy. In addition to galactosemia and galactosuria, these
patients have impaired renal tubular resorption leading to aminoaciduria, gastrointestinal symptoms,
hepatosplenomegaly, cataracts, bleeding diathesis, hypoglycemia, and mental retardation.
Pathologically, the CNS shows neuronal loss and gliosis and the liver shows fatty change progressing
to cirrhosis.

Benign disease with cataract formation (choice A) is characteristic of galactokinase deficiency.

Chronic emphysema (choice B) is not associated with homozygous galactose-1-phosphate
uridyltransferase deficiency, but rather with alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency.

Impaired tubular reabsorption (producing aminoaciduria) is seen within a few days or weeks of
feeding milk to an infant with severe galactosemia, as opposed to chronic renal failure appearing in
adolescence (choice C).

Gastrointestinal symptoms (choice E) certainly occur in homozygous galactose-1-phosphate
uridyltransferase deficiency, but they would not be expected to remit with puberty. Instead, most
untreated infants with this disorder show failure to thrive and die in infancy from wasting and
inanition.

A 20-year old female who is 2 months pregnant remembers that she had phenylketonuria (PKU) as a child
and required a special diet. Tests confirm markedly elevated maternal serum levels of phenylalanine
and phenylacetic acid. Genetic studies have not been performed on the father. What should the
physician tell the parents regarding the welfare of the child?

A. Childhood phenylalanine restriction is sufficient to protect the health of her child.

B. Further information is required to ascertain if the fetus is at risk.

C. The fetus is at no health risk if it is heterozygous for the PKU gene.

D. The fetus is at no health risk if phenylalanine levels are normalized by the third trimester.

E. The mother's hyperphenylalaninemia may have already harmed the fetus.

Explanation:

The correct answer is E. Phenylalanine crosses the placenta and, if maternal serum levels are
elevated, acts as a teratogen to the developing fetus. This condition is known as maternal PKU.
Although the mother can fare well with substantial elevations in serum phenylalanine concentration,
the children born to such women are usually profoundly retarded and may have multiple birth defects.

Although dietary modifications (choice A) can prevent the neurological and dermatologic
manifestations of PKU in a child, the fetus is still at risk from maternal PKU.

Further information regarding the cause of this woman's hyperphenylalaninemia (choice B) is not
needed, since the fetus is exposed to teratogenic levels of phenylalanine.

Children born to mothers with untreated PKU develop maternal PKU even if they are heterozygous for
the PKU gene (choice C). Fetal phenylalanine hydroxylase cannot compensate for the high maternal
levels of phenylalanine.

The critical period in development during which teratogenic materials affect the growing organs is
between the 3rd and 8th weeks of gestation. By the end of the 2nd month (compare with choice D), the
damage caused by the maternal PKU has already occurred.

A 24-year-old graduate student presents to a physician with complaints of severe muscle cramps and
weakness with even mild exercise. Muscle biopsy demonstrates glycogen accumulation, but hepatic
biopsy is unremarkable. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?

A. Hartnup's disease

B. Krabbe's disease

C. McArdle's disease

D. Niemann-Pick disease

E. Von Gierke's disease

Explanation:

The correct answer is C. A variety of glycogen storage diseases exist, corresponding to defects in
different enzymes in glycogen metabolism; most of these involve the liver. McArdle's disease (Type V
glycogen storage disease), due to a defect in muscle phosphorylase, is restricted to skeletal
muscle. The presentation described in the question stem is typical. Many affected individuals also
experience myoglobinuria. Definitive diagnosis is based on demonstration of myophosphorylase
deficiency.

Hartnup's disease (choice A) is a disorder of amino acid transport.

Krabbe's disease (choice B) is a lysosomal storage disease.

Niemann-Pick disease (choice D) is a lysosomal storage disease.

Von Gierke's disease (choice E) is a glycogen storage disease with prominent involvement of liver,
intestine, and kidney.

Which of the following metabolic processes occurs exclusively in the mitochondria?

A. Cholesterol synthesis

B. Fatty acid synthesis

C. Gluconeogenesis

D. Glycolysis

E. Hexose monophosphate shunt

F. Ketone body synthesis

G. Urea cycle

Explanation:

The correct answer is F. Of the processes listed, only ketone body synthesis occurs exclusively in
the mitochondria. Other mitochondrial processes include the production of acetyl-CoA, the TCA cycle,
the electron transport chain, and fatty acid oxidation.

Processes that occur exclusively in the cytoplasm include cholesterol synthesis (choice A; in
cytosol or in ER), fatty acid synthesis (choice B), glycolysis (choice D), and the hexose
monophosphate shunt (choice E).

Note that gluconeogenesis (choice C) and the urea cycle (choice G) occur in both the mitochondria
and the cytoplasm.

A physician from the United States decides to take a sabbatical from his responsibilities at a teaching
hospital to work in a clinic in a remote part of Africa. During his first week at the clinic, he is
told that he will be seeing a patient with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. Which of the
following will be the most likely clinical presentation of this patient?

A. A 6-month-old child who develops severe anemia following a respiratory tract infection

B. A child who develops hemoglobinuria following a meal of beans

C. A neonate with an enlarged spleen and severe anemia

D. An adult who develops anemia following use of antimalarial drugs

E. An adult who develops severe shortness of breath during an airplane ride

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. In Africa, the classic presentation of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
deficiency is a child who eats a meal of beans (Vicia fava) and several hours later develops
hemoglobinuria and peripheral vascular collapse secondary to intravascular hemolysis as a result of
the oxidant injury initiated by the fava beans. Blood studies in this setting show a rapid fall in
total hemoglobin and a rise in free plasma hemoglobin, accompanied by a rise in unconjugated
bilirubin and a fall in haptoglobin. The episode usually resolves spontaneously several days later.
Today, the classic presentation is less common in developed countries than is a slower onset
syndrome beginning 1-3 days after starting an antimalarial drug, sulfonamide, or other antioxidant
drug. Rarely, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency presents as neonatal jaundice or with
chronic hemolysis.

A patient with familial hypercholesterolemia undergoes a detailed serum lipid and lipoprotein analysis.
Studies demonstrate elevated cholesterol in the form of increased LDL without elevation of other
lipids. This patient's hyperlipidemia is best classified as which of the following types?

A. Type 1

B. Type 2a

C. Type 2b

D. Type 3

E. Type 5

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. Hyperlipidemia has been subclassified based on the lipid and lipoprotein
profiles. Type 2a, which this patient has, can be seen in a hereditary form, known as familial
hypercholesterolemia, and also in secondary, acquired forms related to nephritic syndrome and
hyperthyroidism. The root problem appears to be a deficiency of LDL receptors, which leads to a
specific elevation of cholesterol in the form of increased LDL. Heterozygotes for the hereditary
form generally develop cardiovascular disease from 30 to 50 years of age. Homozygotes may have
cardiovascular disease in childhood.

Type 1 (choice A) is characterized by isolated elevation of chylomicrons.

Type 2b (choice C) is characterized by elevations of both cholesterol and triglycerides in the form
of LDL and VLDL.

Type 3 (choice D) is characterized by elevations of triglycerides and cholesterol in the form of
chylomicron remnants and IDL.

Type 5 (choice E) is characterized by elevations of triglycerides and cholesterol in the form of
VLDL and chylomicrons.

During the isolation of Met-enkephalin (Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met) from post-mortem human brain tissue,
researchers find that the peptide is rapidly degraded by peptidases in 1 minute at 37 C. Detailed
analysis of the peptide cleavage pattern of Met-enkephalin is investigated with two candidate
enzymes. Using the drug bestatin, the investigators found no detectable Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Met but did
find significant concentrations of Tyr-Gly-Gly. Using thiorphan, there was no detectable Tyr-Gly-
Gly-Phe-Met, but there was a high concentration of Tyr. Which of the following is the best
conclusion about Met-enkephalin metabolism that can be drawn from these data?

A. Bestatin inhibits an aminopeptidase, and thiorphan inhibits an endopeptidase in the degradative
pathway

B. Bestatin inhibits a carboxypeptidase in the degradative pathway

C. Bestatin inhibits an endopeptidase in the degradative pathway

D. Thiorphan inhibits an aminopeptidase, and bestatin inhibits an endopeptidase in the degradative
pathway

E. Thiorphan inhibits an aminopeptidase in the degradative pathway

Explanation:

The correct answer is A. Met-enkephalin, the most abundant opioid peptide in the human brain, undergoes
two routes of metabolism. One route releases a tripeptide and therefore is the result of a peptidase
that cuts an amino acid bond within the molecule: an endopeptidase. The other route releases free
tyrosine and therefore is an exopeptidase. Exopeptidases can remove amino acid residues from the amino-
or carboxyl-terminus of the protein. By convention, all peptide sequences are given from the N to the C
terminus, the direction of translation. Tyrosine is therefore at the amino-terminus of Met-enkephalin,
and its release is the result of digestion by an aminopeptidase.

The scientists have used two drugs to highlight the two enzymatic pathways. With bestatin, Met-
enkephalin is metabolized only to the tripeptide; therefore bestatin inhibits the aminopeptidase
enzyme, preventing release of free tyrosine residues. With thiorphan, Met-enkephalin is metabolized to
free tyrosine; the tripeptide is no longer formed. Thiorphan is an inhibitor of the endopeptidase. The
lack of persistence of Met-enkephalin in the presence of an enzyme inhibitor is evidence that the
peptide's metabolism is shifted in the direction of the noninhibited enzyme. A schematic of the
metabolism would be:

Tyrosine cannot be the result of carboxypeptidase activity (choice B), since the carboxyl-terminus of
Met-enkephalin is a methionine.

Bestatin inhibits an aminopeptidase, not an endopeptidase (choice C). An endopeptidase would not
release a free amino acid residue.

Met-enkephalin is indeed metabolized by an aminopeptidase and an endopeptidase, but bestatin inhibits
the aminopeptidase and thiorphan inhibits the endopeptidase (compare with choice D).

Thiorphan does not inhibit an aminopeptidase (choice E); furthermore, such an enzyme would release a
free Tyr and a tetrapeptide.

The parents of a 6-month-old child who was normal at birth bring her into the clinic. Since their
emigration to the U.S. from Eastern Europe soon after her birth, the child has developed diminished
responsiveness, progressive blindness and deafness, and recently, seizures. Serum levels of which of
the following compounds would be expected to be decreased in both of the parents?

A. Dystrophin

B. Hexosaminidase A

C. Hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT)

D. Phenylalanine hydroxylase

E. Vitamin D3

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. This patient has Tay-Sachs disease, an autosomal recessive disorder caused
by the deficiency of hexosaminidase A, which leads to the accumulation of ganglioside GM2 in neurons,
producing a degenerative neurologic disease. Children appear normal at birth, but then begin to
suffer from diminished responsiveness, deafness, blindness, loss of neurologic function, and
seizures. A cherry-red spot on the macula may be seen by ophthalmoscopic examination. Death usually
occurs by 4 to 5 years of age. There is no therapy. The incidence is higher among Jews of Eastern
European descent. Since the parents must be heterozygotes for the mutant hexosaminidase A allele,
they would be expected to have diminished levels of the enzyme.

A defect in the dystrophin (choice A) gene produces Duchenne muscular dystrophy, characterized by
onset of weakness in early childhood.

A severe deficiency in HGPRT (choice C) will lead to Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, characterized by excessive
uric acid production, mental retardation, spasticity, self-mutilation, and aggressive, destructive
behavior.

Deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase (choice D) results in classic phenylketonuria, a disease in
which phenylalanine, phenylpyruvate, phenylacetate, and phenyllactate accumulate in plasma and urine.
Clinically, there is a musty body odor and mental retardation.

Hypophosphatemic rickets is an X-linked dominant condition causing abnormal regulation of vitamin D3
(choice E) metabolism and defects in renal tubular phosphate transport. Symptoms include growth
retardation, osteomalacia, and rickets.

Poor oxygenation of tissues decreases the production of ATP necessary for many cellular functions. Which
of the following processes is most immediately compromised in a typical cell when ATP production is
inadequate?

A. Complex carbohydrate synthesis

B. Lipid synthesis

C. Na+/K+ ATPase function

D. Nucleic acid synthesis

E. Protein synthesis

Explanation:

The correct answer is C. While ATP is important in cellular synthetic functions, its role in
maintaining the Na+/ K+ exchange across the plasmalemma is actually the most immediately important
function for most cells. The direct effect of this is the energy (ATP) driven exchange of 3 Na+ ions
(which go from inside the cell to outside) for 2 K+ ions (which go from outside to inside). This
process requires considerable energy (1 ATP per 3Na+/2K+ exchange), since both the Na+ and K+ are
traveling against a concentration gradient. This direct effect of the Na+/ K+ ATPase may seem
trivial, but the secondary consequences are dramatic. The Na+/ K+ ATPase helps establish the
transmembrane potential of the cell (because the quantitatively uneven exchange of Na+/ K+ drives
more positive ions out of the cell than in) and also both the Na+ and K+ gradients. All of these
facilitate a wide variety of exchanges and transmembrane transport systems that allow entry into the
cell of the large variety of small molecules and ions that it needs. The first microscopically
visible effect of significant hypoxia is cellular edema, which is a consequence of distorted water
balance, also an indirect function of the Na+/ K+ ATPase.

Urine screening of an apparently healthy pregnant woman demonstrates a positive Clinitest reaction.
However, blood glucose levels were within normal limits, and more specific testing for urine glucose
is negative. The woman has been unaware of any metabolic problems and has been living a normal life.
Deficiency of which of the following enzymes would most likely produce this presentation?

A. Fructokinase

B. Fructose 1-phosphate aldolase

C. Galactose 1-P-uridyl transferase

D. Lactase

E. Pyruvate dehydrogenase

Explanation:

The correct answer is A. Glucose, galactose, and fructose are all reducing sugars, and elevations of
all of these sugars can be detected with Clinitest tablets. Neither lactose nor pyruvate can be
detected, thus eliminating lactase and pyruvate dehydrogenase as plausible choices. This leaves
three possibilities: fructokinase, fructose 1-phosphate aldolase, and galactose 1-P-uridyl
transferases. Of these, only fructokinase deficiency produces a mild (usually completely
asymptomatic) condition known as fructosuria.

Fructose 1-phosphate aldolase deficiency (choice B) produces severe hereditary fructose intolerance.

Galactose 1-P-uridyl transferase deficiency (choice C) produces classic galactosemia.

Lactase deficiency (choice D) produces lactose intolerance.

Pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency (choice E) produces severe disease (e.g., a subset of Leigh's
disease).

Addition of which of the following exhaustively 14C labeled substrates would lead to evolution of 14CO2
from a cell-free suspension containing all the enzymes and substrates required for the synthesis of
uridylic acid?

A. Aspartate

B. Carbamoyl phosphate

C. Glutamine

D. Glycine

E. N10-Formyltetrahydrofolate

Explanation:

The correct answer is A. In the first step of pyrimidine synthesis, carbamoyl phosphate condenses
with aspartate to form carbamoyl aspartate, in a reaction catalyzed by aspartate transcarbamoylase.
In subsequent steps, ring closure occurs with the loss of water, followed by oxidation to yield
orotic acid. Addition of ribose-5-phosphate produces orotidylic acid, which is decarboxylated by
orotidylate decarboxylase to yield uridylic acid. The carbon dioxide that is evolved is derived from
the alpha carboxyl group of aspartate.

Carbamoyl phosphate (choice B) condenses with aspartate with the loss of inorganic phosphate to
produce carbamoyl aspartate. The carbamoyl moiety of carbamoyl phosphate is retained.

Glutamine (choice C), glycine (choice D) and N10-formyltetrahydrofolate (choice E) are all used in
purine synthesis. Glutamine also donates an amino group to UTP to form CTP, but this step occurs
after the synthesis of uridylic acid is complete.

A histological section of the left ventricle of a deceased 28-year-old white male shows classic
contraction band necrosis of the myocardium. Biological specimens confirm the presence of cocaine and
metabolites. Activity of which of the following enzymes was most likely increased in the patient's
myocardial cells shortly prior to his death?

A. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase

B. Phosphofructokinase-1

C. Pyruvate dehydrogenase

D. Succinate dehydrogenase

E. Transketolase

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. Cocaine causes contraction band necrosis by blocking the reuptake of
norepinephrine, resulting in excessive vasoconstriction of coronary vessels, leading to ischemia and
infarction of heart tissue. Under these pathological conditions, myocardial cells switch to anaerobic
metabolism and therefore glycolysis becomes the sole source of ATP via substrate-level
phosphorylations by phosphoglycerate kinase and pyruvate kinase. Phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1) is the
rate-limiting enzyme of glycolysis, and its activity would therefore be increased.

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (choice A) is a regulatory enzyme in gluconeogenesis, which is
induced by cortisol, epinephrine, and glucagon. It functions in the hepatic synthesis of glucose when
energy levels from beta-oxidation of fatty acids are adequate.

Pyruvate dehydrogenase (choice C) produces acetyl-CoA from pyruvate and coenzyme A, bridging
glycolysis and the Krebs cycle. It requires 5 cofactors, including NAD and FAD, which would no longer
be produced by the electron transport under hypoxic conditions, decreasing its activity.

Succinate dehydrogenase (choice D) is a key enzyme of the Krebs cycle, producing a reduced equivalent
of FAD to feed into the electron transport chain. It is also known as Complex II. The Krebs cycle
only functions if oxygen is in appropriate concentrations since it is regulated by the levels of
NADH, which is only consumed by the electron transport chain if there is enough oxygen. The absence
of oxygen leads to an accumulation of NADH and a subsequent decrease in the enzyme activities of the
Krebs cycle.

Transketolase (choice E) is a thiamine requiring enzyme of the non-oxidative half of the hexose
monophosphate shunt. The shuffling of sugars in the second half of this pathway results in the
reentry of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate into the glycolytic pathway.
Transketolase activity in red blood cells is used as a clinical marker of thiamine deficiency,
markedly decreasing in disorders such as Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.

An 8-month-old child is brought to a pediatrician because of the mother's concern about the boy's
tendency to compulsively bite his fingers. On questioning, the mother reported that she has noticed
yellow-orange crystals in his diapers, but has not mentioned them to anyone. A genetic defect in
which of the following pathways should be suspected?

A. Aromatic amino acid metabolism

B. Branched chain amino acid metabolism

C. Purine metabolism

D. Pyrimidine metabolism

E. Sulfur-containing amino acid metabolism

Explanation:

The correct answer is C. The disease is Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, and the yellow-orange crystals of uric
acid in the diaper are an important, but often neglected, clue to early diagnosis. Lesch-Nyhan
syndrome is characterized by a tremendous overproduction of purines, because the reutilization of
purines via the purine salvage pathway is blocked by a near total absence of hypoxanthine-guanine
phosphoribosyl-transferase (HGPRT) activity. Patients with this severe X-linked disease, for reasons
that are unknown, show aggressive behavior that leads to self-mutilation. They may also develop
gouty arthritis or gouty nephropathy.

Phenylketonuria is an example of a disorder of aromatic amino acid metabolism (choice A)
characterized by mental retardation.

Maple syrup urine disease is an example of a disorder of branched chain amino acids (choice B)
causing motor abnormalities and seizures.

Orotic aciduria is an example of a disorder of pyrimidine metabolism (choice D), characterized by
retarded growth and development as well as megaloblastic anemia.

Homocystinuria is an example of a disorder of sulfur-containing amino acids (choice E),
characterized by mental retardation, dislocation of the lenses, osteoporosis, and thromboses.

Which of the following will be unchanged in a Lineweaver-Burk plot of an enzyme with and without a
competitive inhibitor?

A. Km

B. Slope

C. x-intercept

D. y-intercept

Explanation:

The correct answer is D. It is worth taking the time to learn how to read a Lineweaver-Burk plot.
Lineweaver-Burk plots are used to determine the Vmax and Km of an enzyme; they are also used to
differentiate between competitive and noncompetitive inhibition.

Note that in a Lineweaver-Burk plot, the slope is Km/Vmax, the x-intercept is -1/Km, and the y-
intercept is 1/Vmax. In the presence of a competitive inhibitor, the Km(choice A) and therefore the
slope (choice B) are both increased. Similarly, if Km is increased, -1/Km will become less negative
and the x-intercept will shift to the right. Intuitively, this makes sense since a competitive
inhibitor will increase the amount of substrate needed to reach half-maximal velocity (definition of
Km). In contrast, the Vmax, and hence the y-intercept, is unchanged (choice D).

Which of the following metabolic alterations would most likely be present in a chronic alcoholic
compared to a non-drinker?

A. Fatty acid oxidation is stimulated

B. Gluconeogenesis is stimulated

C. Glycerophosphate dehydrogenase is stimulated

D. The ratio of lactate to pyruvate is decreased

E. The ratio of NADH to NAD+ is increased

Explanation:

The correct answer is E. The principal route of metabolism of ethanol is via alcohol dehydrogenase,
which uses hydrogen from ethanol to form NADH from NAD+, markedly increasing the ratio of NADH to
NAD+. The relative excess of NADH has a number of effects, including inhibiting, rather than
stimulating fatty acid oxidation (choice A); inhibiting gluconeogenesis rather than stimulating it
(choice B); inhibiting, rather than stimulating (choice C) glycerophosphate dehydrogenase; and
favoring the formation of lactate rather than pyruvate from glycolysis (thereby increasing, rather
than decreasing the lactate/pyruvate ratio; choice D).

A couple brings in their 6-month-old child because they are concerned about the child's inability to sit
without support. The physician interviews the parents and ascertains that they are both Ashkenazic
Jews. The doctor should inform them that, because of their heritage, their child may have an
increased risk of which of the following disorders?

A. Albinism and galactosemia

B. Cystic fibrosis and Lesch-Nyhan disease

C. Gaucher's disease and Tay-Sachs disease

D. Krabbe's disease and Niemann-Pick disease

E. Metachromatic leukodystrophy and phenylketonuria

Explanation:

The correct answer is C. You should associate Ashkenazic (Eastern European) Jews with two diseases:
Tay-Sachs disease and Type I Gaucher's disease. Both of these diseases are sphingolipidoses. Tay-
Sachs disease is the more devastating of the two, and is characterized by progressive neurologic
(including visual) deterioration beginning at about 6 months of age and leading to death by age 3.
In contrast, Type I Gaucher's disease is compatible with a normal life span and causes
hepatosplenomegaly with CNS involvement. (The infantile Type II and the juvenile Type III forms
cause more serious disease but are not seen with increased incidence in Ashkenazic Jews.) None of
the other conditions listed occur with greater frequency in Ashkenazic Jews. In this case, also note
that many perfectly normal children cannot sit without support at 6 months of age, so the child may
well be healthy.

A 2-year-old retarded child is evaluated by a metabolic specialist. The child's history is significant
for failure to thrive and progressive neurologic deterioration, including deafness and blindness.
Physical examination is remarkable for hepatosplenomegaly, as well as a cherry-red spot on
funduscopic examination. These symptoms are consistent with a diagnosis of

A. Hunter syndrome

B. Niemann-Pick disease

C. Pompe's disease

D. tyrosinosis

E. von Gierke's disease

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. Hepatosplenomegaly accompanied by progressive neurologic deterioration
should make you think of lipid storage diseases; Niemann-Pick disease is the only lipid storage
disease in the answer choices. Niemann-Pick disease is due to a deficiency of sphingomyelinase,
leading to an accumulation of sphingomyelin. It is most common among Ashkenazic Jews and generally
results in death by age 2. The cherry-red spot is also a characteristic of Tay-Sachs disease, but
hepatosplenomegaly suggests Niemann-Pick disease rather than Tay-Sachs.

Hunter syndrome (choice A) is a mucopolysaccharidosis, inherited in an X-linked recessive fashion.

Pompe's disease (choice C) is a glycogen storage disease characterized by hypotonia and
cardiorespiratory failure.

Tyrosinosis (choice D) is a rare abnormality of tyrosine metabolism that would not produce the
listed symptoms.

von Gierke's disease (choice E) is a severe form of glycogen storage disease characterized by
hypoglycemia, hepatomegaly, and renomegaly.

Which of the following enzymes is located at arrow 1 in the electron micrograph above?

A. Carnitine acyltransferase II

B. Fatty acyl CoA synthetase

C. Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase

D. Hexokinase

E. Pyruvate kinase

Explanation:

The correct answer is A. Arrow 1 indicates the inner mitochondrial membrane. Carnitine acyltransferase
II is located on the inner face of the inner mitochondrial membrane. It reforms fatty acyl CoA in the
mitochondrial matrix (arrow 5) from acyl carnitine, thus preparing it for mitochondrial oxidation. The
acyl groups on carnitine are derived from acyl CoA esters synthesized in the outer mitochondrial
membrane, which are made from free fatty acids circulating in the blood.

Fatty acyl CoA synthetases (choice B) are located in the outer mitochondrial membrane, indicated by
arrow 2.

Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, the first enzyme in the pentose phosphate pathway (choice C),
hexokinase, the first enzyme in the glycolytic pathway (choice D), and pyruvate kinase (choice E),
which produces pyruvate from phosphoenolpyruvate in glycolysis, are all located in the cytosol,
indicated by arrow 3.

Arrow 4 indicates smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

A 72-year-old woman, in otherwise good health, presents with megaloblastic anemia. Careful evaluation
reveals a folate deficiency as the cause of the anemia. Assuming the folate deficiency is due to
dietary causes, which of the following is the most likely problem?

A. Lack of leafy green vegetables

B. Lack of milk products

C. Lack of red meat

D. Lack of yellow vegetables

E. Overcooked food

Explanation:

The correct answer is E. Folates (pteroylglutamic acid and related compounds) are widely distributed
in foodstuffs. Dietary deficiency is usually due to overcooked (folates are very labile) and old
(folates rapidly decay with time) food.

A 2-month-old boy is evaluated for failure to thrive. As the pediatrician is examining the patient, she
witnesses a seizure. Physical examination is remarkable for hepatomegaly, a finding later confirmed
by CT scan, which also reveals renomegaly. Serum chemistries demonstrate severe hypoglycemia,
hyperlipidemia, lactic acidosis, and ketosis. Which of the following diseases best accounts for this
presentation?

A. Gaucher's disease

B. McArdle's disease

C. Niemann-Pick disease

D. Pompe's disease

E. von Gierke's disease

Explanation:

The correct answer is E. von Gierke's disease is a glycogen storage disease caused by a deficiency
of glucose-6-phosphatase. It typically presents with neonatal hypoglycemia, hyperlipidemia, lactic
acidosis, and ketosis. Failure to thrive is common in early life; convulsions may occur due to
profound hypoglycemia. The glycogen accumulation in von Gierke's disease occurs primarily in the
liver and kidneys, accounting for the enlargement of these organs. Gout may develop later because of
the derangement of glucose metabolism.

Even if you do not remember all of the details of the presentation of these genetic diseases, you
should be able to narrow the choices:

Gaucher's disease (choice A) and Niemann-Pick disease (choice C) are lipid storage diseases, and
would not be expected to produce hypoglycemia.

The other diseases are glycogen storage diseases, but McArdle's (choice B) and Pompe's (choice D)
disease affect muscle rather than liver and would not be expected to produce profound hypoglycemia,
since the liver is the major source for blood glucose.

A newborn appears normal at birth, but develops vomiting and diarrhea accompanied by jaundice and
hepatomegaly within the first few weeks of life. Within months, the baby has obvious cataracts and
ascites. The infant is switched to a milk-free diet, which stabilizes but does not completely reverse
his condition. By one year of age, he has developed mental retardation. Which of the following is the
most likely diagnosis?

A. Cystic fibrosis

B. Galactosemia

C. McArdle's disease

D. Von Gierke's disease

E. Wilson's disease

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. Galactosemia is an autosomal recessive disease caused by a deficiency of
galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase, which is necessary for the metabolism of the galactose
derived from milk lactose. The condition should be suspected in infants with growth failure,
cataracts, liver disease, aminoaciduria, and mental retardation. A reducing sugar (galactose) is
usually present in the urine. Most of the pathology is related to the toxic effects of galactose-1-
phosphate. Treatment involves strict dietary lactose restriction, which consists of more than simply
withdrawal of milk products, because lactose is also present in many non-diary foods. Strict
adherence to the diet can strikingly alter the course of this disease.

Cystic fibrosis (choice A) is associated with maldigestion, pancreatic disease, and pulmonary
disease.

McArdle's disease (choice C) is a glycogen storage disease that selectively affects muscle.

Von Gierke's disease (choice D) is a glycogen storage disease affecting the liver and kidneys.

Wilson's disease (choice E) is a caused by a metabolic abnormality in the handling of copper that
can cause cirrhosis and brain damage, and usually presents in adolescence.

Which of the following pairs of enzymes is required for the process of gluconeogenesis?

A. Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and pyruvate carboxylase

B. Glucose-6-phosphatase and phosphofructokinase-1

C. Glucose-6-phosphatase and pyruvate dehydrogenase

D. Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and glucokinase

E. Pyruvate kinase and pyruvate carboxylase

Explanation:

The correct answer is A.The three irreversible steps of glycolysis are catalyzed by hexokinase,
phosphofructokinase-1 (choice B), and pyruvate kinase. In gluconeogenesis, other enzymes are needed
to bypass these key steps. Pyruvate cannot be directly converted to phosphoenolpyruvate in
gluconeogenesis. Therefore, pyruvate carboxylase (a mitochondrial enzyme; choice A) converts pyruvate
to oxaloacetate, which can be converted to phosphoenolpyruvate by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase
(choice D), using two ATP equivalents per molecule of phosphoenolpyruvate. Fructose-1,6-
bisphosphatase (choice A) is the enzyme that splits fructose-1,6-bisphosphate into fructose-6-
phosphate and inorganic phosphate. It is also required for gluconeogenesis.

Glucose-6-phosphatase (choices B and C) is a liver enzyme that hydrolyzes glucose-6-phosphate to
glucose. A deficiency of this enzyme leads to von Gierke disease, also known as glycogen storage
disease type I.

Pyruvate dehydrogenase (choice C) is a mitochondrial enzyme that converts pyruvate to acetyl CoA.
This enzyme requires thiamine pyrophosphate, lipoamide, and FAD as cofactors.

Glucokinase (choice D) is a liver enzyme that converts glucose to glucose-6-phosphate. Unlike
hexokinase, it is specific for glucose and is unresponsive to the level of glucose-6-phosphate. Its
function is to store excess glucose, so it has a very high Km (ie, a low affinity) for glucose,
becoming active only when the concentration of glucose is very high.

Pyruvate kinase (choice E) catalyzes the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate in the
glycolytic pathway. It is activated by fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, the product of the committed step
of glycolysis, and is allosterically inhibited by ATP, alanine, and acetyl CoA.

A 40-year-old, formerly obese woman presents to her physician. She was very proud of having lost 80 lbs.
during the previous 2 years, but now noticed that her "hair is falling out." On questioning, she
reports having followed a strict fat-free diet. Her alopecia is probably related to a deficiency of
which of the following vitamins?

A. Vitamin A

B. Vitamin C

C. Vitamin D

D. Vitamin E

E. Vitamin K

Explanation:

The correct answer is A. While it is hard to develop a deficiency in oil-soluble vitamins (A, D, E,
K) because the liver stores these substances, deficiency states can be seen in chronic malnutrition
(specifically chronic fat deprivation) and chronic malabsorption. Vitamin A is necessary for
formation of retinal pigments (deficiency can cause night blindness) and for appropriate
differentiation of epithelial tissues (including hair follicles, mucous membranes, skin, bone, and
adrenal cortex).

Vitamin C (choice B), which is water soluble rather than oil soluble, is necessary for collagen
synthesis.

Vitamin D (choice C) is important in calcium absorption and metabolism.

Vitamin E (choice D) is a lipid antioxidant that is important in the stabilization of cell
membranes.

Vitamin K (choice E) is necessary for normal blood coagulation.

5 mL of synovial fluid is aspirated from an inflamed knee joint. The fluid is yellow-white and cloudy
and contains 200,000 WBC/mm3 (85% neutrophils). Needle-shaped, strongly negatively birefringent
crystals are seen both within and outside neutrophils. These crystals most likely have which of the
following compositions?

A. Basic calcium phosphate

B. Calcium oxalate

C. Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate

D. Cholesterol

E. Monosodium urate

Explanation:

The correct answer is E. All the compounds listed can produce crystals in joint fluid, but only
monosodium urate (associated with gout) and calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (associated with CPPD
crystal deposition disease, also called pseudogout), and to lesser degree basic calcium phosphate
(apatite-associated arthropathy), have a high likelihood of being encountered on a step 1 USMLE
exam. The crystals described are those of monosodium urate. Be careful not to answer "uric acid" if
that is listed as an alternative choice on an exam, since the sodium salt is the predominant species
in vivo.

Basic calcium phosphate (choice A) is seen in apatite-associated arthropathy and produces spherical
clumps of nonbirefringent submicroscopic crystals.

Calcium oxalate crystals (choice B) are seen in primary oxalosis and are bipyramidal, positively
birefringent crystals.

Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals (choice C) are a feature of pseudogout and are rod-to-
rhomboidal-shaped, weakly positively birefringent crystals.

Cholesterol crystals (choice D) are seen in chronic and chylous effusions in inflammatory and
degenerative arthritis, where they form large, flat, rhomboidal plates with notched corners.

Which of the following cofactors is required for decarboxylation of alpha-ketoacids?

A. Vitamin B1

B. Vitamin B2

C. Vitamin B3

D. Vitamin B5

E. Vitamin B6

Explanation:

The correct answer is A. Vitamin B1, or thiamine, is the coenzyme required (as the pyrophosphate)
for the decarboxylation of alpha-ketoacids. An example of this reaction is pyruvate decarboxylase
reaction in alcoholic fermentation. Other reactions such as that catalyzed by pyruvate dehydrogenase
also rely on thiamine pyrophosphate for decarboxylation, but require other cofactors as well.
Thiamine is also required for the generation of pentose phosphates for nucleotide synthesis in the
pentose phosphate pathway (hexose monophosphate shunt), serving as a cofactor for transketolase.

Vitamin B2(choice B), or riboflavin, is a constituent of FMN (flavin mononucleotide) and FAD (flavin
adenine dinucleotide). It functions in hydrogen and electron transport.

Vitamin B3(choice C), or niacin (nicotinic acid), is a coenzyme that is also involved in hydrogen
and electron transport. Nicotinic acid functions in the form of NAD and NADP.

Vitamin B5(choice D), or pantothenic acid, is conjugated with coenzyme A to act as a carboxylic acid
carrier.

Vitamin B6(choice E), or pyridoxine, is required as a cofactor for pyridoxal phosphate and
pyridoxamine phosphate. Both of these cofactors are essential to protein metabolism and energy
production.

A newborn presents with severe acidosis, vomiting, hypotonia, and neurologic deficits. Serum analysis
reveals elevated levels of lactate and alanine. These observations suggest a deficiency in which of
the following enzymes?

A. Alanine aminotransferase

B. Glutamate dehydrogenase

C. Lactate dehydrogenase

D. Pyruvate carboxylase

E. Pyruvate dehydrogenase

Explanation:

The correct answer is E. Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) catalyzes the irreversible conversion of
pyruvate to acetyl-CoA. If PDH is absent, pyruvate will be used in other pathways instead. Pyruvate
will be converted to alanine via alanine aminotransferase (choice A) and to lactate via lactate
dehydrogenase (choice C).

Glutamate dehydrogenase (choice B) is involved in oxidative deamination, releasing ammonium ion for
urea synthesis. Deficiency of this enzyme would not cause the symptoms described.

Pyruvate carboxylase (choice D) is a gluconeogenic enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate
to oxaloacetate. Deficiency of this enzyme would not cause the symptoms described.

The activity of which of the following enzymes is directly affected by citrate?

A. Fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase

B. Isocitrate dehydrogenase

C. Phosphofructokinase I

D. Pyruvate carboxylase

E. 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase

Explanation:

The correct answer is C. Citrate is produced by citrate synthase from acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate.
This reaction takes place in the mitochondria, but citrate can move freely from the mitochondria into
the cytosol. When the citric acid cycle slows down, citrate accumulates. In the cytosol, it acts as a
negative allosteric regulator of phosphofructokinase I, the enzyme that catalyzes the committed step
of glycolysis.

Fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (choice A) breaks down fructose-2,6-bisphosphate, a potent allosteric
activator of phosphofructokinase I. Fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase is activated by cyclic AMP-dependent
protein kinase.

Isocitrate dehydrogenase (choice B) converts isocitrate to alpha-ketoglutarate in the citric acid
cycle. It is allosterically stimulated by ADP and inhibited by ATP and NADH. This reaction produces
NADH and CO2.

Pyruvate carboxylase (choice D) is a mitochondrial enzyme that converts pyruvate to oxaloacetate. It
is important in gluconeogenesis and replenishes the oxaloacetate in the citric acid cycle.

6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (choice E) converts 6-phosphogluconate to ribulose 5-phosphate in
the pentose phosphate shunt pathway.

Which of the following enzymes is stimulated by glucagon?

A. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase

B. Glycogen phosphorylase

C. Glycogen synthase

D. HMG-CoA reductase

E. Pyruvate kinase

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. Before you started analyzing all of the answer choices you should have
reminded yourself that glucagon increases serum glucose. So an enzyme stimulated by glucagon might
be involved in either the breakdown of glycogen to glucose (glycogenolysis) or in the creation of
glucose from noncarbohydrate precursors (gluconeogenesis). Glycogen phosphorylase catalyzes the
first step in glycogenolysis; it makes sense that it would be stimulated by glucagon.

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (choice A) catalyzes the first step in fatty acid synthesis, an anabolic
process that would be stimulated by insulin, not glucagon.

As its name implies, glycogen synthase (choice C) is involved in the synthesis of glycogen. Glucagon
(and epinephrine) stimulate the phosphorylation and inactivation of glycogen synthase.

HMG-CoA reductase (choice D) is the key enzyme involved in the synthesis of cholesterol. Since this
is an anabolic process that occurs in the well-fed state, you would expect it to be stimulated by
insulin and inhibited by glucagon (which it is).

Pyruvate kinase (choice E) catalyzes the last reaction of glycolysis. You would expect it to be
inhibited by glucagon (thus decreasing the amount of glucose consumption). Glucagon promotes the
phosphorylation of pyruvate kinase, which renders it inactive.

Which of the following inhibits the activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase?

A. Citrate

B. Glucagon

C. High-carbohydrate, low-fat diet

D. Insulin

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. The key thing to remember here is that acetyl-CoA carboxylase catalyzes the
first and rate-limiting step of fatty acid synthesis. If you got that far, you could have figured
out which of the choices would inhibit the synthesis of fatty acids. Certainly glucagon, a catabolic
hormone released in response to low blood glucose, would be a likely candidate to inhibit the
synthesis of fatty acids. In fact, glucagon inhibits fatty acid synthesis by a cAMP-dependent
phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase. Conversely, glucagon stimulates fatty acid oxidation.

Citrate (choice A) is a key player in fatty acid synthesis (citrate shuttle). Therefore, the
presence of citrate would stimulate, not inhibit, acetyl-CoA carboxylase.

A high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet (choice C) would stimulate, not inhibit, the synthesis of fatty
acids.

In contrast to glucagon, insulin (choice D) is an anabolic hormone that promotes fatty acid
synthesis and therefore would stimulate acetyl-CoA carboxylase. It does so by dephosphorylating the
enzyme.

An individual lacking the enzyme tyrosinase would be particularly predisposed to develop which of the
following?

A. Glioblastoma multiforme

B. Hemangioblastoma

C. Hepatoma

D. Melanoma

E. Renal cell carcinoma

Explanation:

The correct answer is D. This question is simple if you know that tyrosinase is an enzyme in the
biosynthetic pathway for melanin formation from tyrosine. A lack of tyrosinase causes one form of
albinism; a second form is caused by defective tyrosine uptake. Patients with albinism are
vulnerable to developing cancers of the skin of all types, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous
cell carcinoma, and melanoma. The melanomas are unusual in that they are non-pigmented (amelanotic)
rather than black, since the patients cannot form melanin.

A newborn baby has multiple hemorrhages. Clotting studies demonstrate an elevated prothrombin time. An
abnormality of which of the following biochemical processes is likely present in this patient?

A. Conversion of homocysteine to methionine

B. Conversion of methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl CoA

C. Degradation of cystathionine

D. Formation of gamma-carboxyglutamate residues

E. Hydroxylation of proline

Explanation:

The correct answer is D. Deficiency of vitamin K produces a clotting disorder characterized by an
elevated prothrombin time and easy bleeding, particularly in neonates (hemorrhagic disease of the
newborn). The biochemical basis for this hemorrhagic tendency is that glutamate residues on Factors
II (Thrombin), VII, IX, and X must be converted to gamma-carboxyglutamate residues (in a vitamin K-
requiring reaction) for optimal activity.

The conversion of homocysteine to methionine (choice A) requires vitamin B12.

Conversion of methylmalonyl CoA to succinyl CoA (choice B) requires vitamin B12.

Degradation of cystathionine (choice C) requires vitamin B6.

Hydroxylation of proline (choice E) requires vitamin C. Vitamin C deficiency can cause easy bruising,
but will not prolong the prothrombin time.

A very ill infant is admitted to the hospital. Laboratory examination reveals a very high serum
concentration of lactic acid. In addition to taking steps to correct the acidosis, the attending
physician prescribes thiamine. The rationale for thiamine administration is that thiamine is
converted to a coenzyme used by which of the following enzymes?

A. Lactate dehydrogenase

B. Pyruvate carboxylase

C. Pyruvate dehydrogenase

D. Pyruvate kinase

E. Transketolase

Explanation:

The correct answer is C. Thiamine is a water-soluble vitamin that is converted to the coenzyme
thiamine pyrophosphate. This coenzyme is used by pyruvate dehydrogenase to convert pyruvate to
acetyl coenzyme A. In the absence of thiamine, pyruvate accumulates and can be converted by lactate
dehydrogenase to lactate, which is spilled in the blood causing lactic acidosis.

Lactate dehydrogenase (choice A) produces lactate from pyruvate but does not use thiamine
pyrophosphate.

Some lactic acidosis might be produced by decreased pyruvate carboxylase activity (choice B), but
the enzyme requires biotin rather than thiamine pyrophosphate.

Pyruvate kinase (choice D) makes pyruvate from phosphoenolpyruvate, but does not use thiamine
pyrophosphate.

Transketolase (choice E) requires thiamine pyrophosphate, but operates in another pathway (pentose
phosphate pathway). Decreased transketolase activity is not associated with the development of
lactic acidosis.

A 69-year-old edentulous alcoholic male who lives alone is admitted to the hospital for evaluation of a
shoulder wound that is not healing well. On physical examination, numerous ecchymoses are noted on
the posterior aspect of his legs and thighs. Careful examination of the man's skin reveals minute
hemorrhages around hair follicles and splinter hemorrhages in the nail beds. Laboratory examination
is remarkable for a hemoglobin of 10 (normal 14-18 g/dL); no other hematologic abnormalities are
noted. Therapy should consist of

A. administration of factor VIII

B. administration of iron

C. administration of vitamin B12

D. administration of vitamin C

E. administration of vitamin K

Explanation:

The correct answer is D. The patient described suffers from scurvy, due to a deficiency of dietary
vitamin C. Absence of vitamin C leads to impaired hydroxylation of proline residues in the nascent
procollagen chains, leading to weakness of blood vessel walls. Clinically, the deficiency syndrome
is characterized by perifollicular hemorrhages, fragmentation of hairs, purpura, ecchymoses,
splinter hemorrhages, and hemorrhages into muscle. In patients with normal dentition, gum changes
(swelling, bleeding, loosening of teeth) are also noted. Without supplementation with vitamin C,
death may eventually occur.

Administration of factor VIII (choice A) would be indicated for factor VIII deficiency, which would
also lead to a prolonged PTT (partial thromboplastin time), which was not noted.

Administration of iron (choice B) would be of benefit in iron-deficiency anemia, but there is no
indication of a hypochromic, microcytic anemia in this patient. The anemia of scurvy is typically
normochromic and normocytic, due to bleeding.

Administration of vitamin B12(choice C) would be indicated for a megaloblastic anemia. Although a
macrocytic anemia may be observed in scurvy (due to concomitant dietary folate deficiency or
perturbations in the folate pool), this patient did not show macrocytosis.

Administration of vitamin K (choice E) would be appropriate in the setting of vitamin K deficiency,
which would produce prolongations of the prothrombin time (PT), followed eventually by prolongation
of the PTT as the vitamin K-dependent factors (II, VII, IX, X, protein C, and protein S) are
depleted.

A Guatemalan child with a history of meconium ileus is brought in to a clinic because of a chronic
cough. The mother notes a history of respiratory tract infections and bulky, foul-smelling stools.
After assessment of the respiratory tract illness, the practitioner should also look for signs of

A. cystinuria

B. hypoglycemia

C. iron deficiency anemia

D. sphingomyelin accumulation

E. vitamin A deficiency

Explanation:

The correct answer is E. The child is likely suffering from cystic fibrosis. In this disorder, an
abnormality of chloride channels causes all exocrine secretions to be more viscous than normal.
Pancreatic secretion of digestive enzymes is often severely impaired, with consequent steatorrhea
and deficiency of fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamin A.

Cystinuria (choice A) is a relatively common disorder in which a defective transporter for dibasic
amino acids (cystine, ornithine, lysine, arginine; COLA) leads to saturation of the urine with
cystine, which is not very soluble in urine, and precipitates out to form stones.

Hypoglycemia (choice B) is not a prominent feature of children with cystic fibrosis who are on a
normal diet. Hyperglycemia may occur late in the course of the disease.

Iron deficiency anemia (choice C) is not found with any regularity in children with cystic fibrosis.

Sphingomyelin accumulation (choice D) is generally associated with deficiency of sphingomyelinase,
as seen in Niemann-Pick disease.

In which of the following laboratory tests would you expect to find the greatest disparity in reference
intervals between men and (non-pregnant) women?

A. Mean corpuscular volume

B. Serum alkaline phosphatase

C. Serum ferritin

D. Serum glucose

E. Serum sodium

Explanation:

The correct answer is C. Men have higher reference intervals than women in tests related to iron and
hemoglobin (Hb) concentration in blood. The normal reference interval for Hb concentration in women
is lower (12.0-16.0 gm/dL) than that for men (13.5-17.5 gm/dL) due to lower serum testosterone
levels (testosterone is higher in men and stimulates erythropoiesis) and blood loss during menses.
Furthermore, women normally have about 400 mg of iron (as ferritin) in their bone marrow iron stores
versus an average of 1000 mg of iron for men. In the absence of inflammation, the small circulating
fraction of ferritin (choice C) correlates well with ferritin stores in the bone marrow. Hence, men
have different reference intervals for serum ferritin than do women (15-200 ng/mL in men versus
12-150 ng/mL in women).

The mean corpuscular volume (choice A), serum alkaline phosphatase (choice B), serum glucose (choice
D), and serum sodium (choice E) are similar in both sexes.

A competitive inhibitor of an enzyme will

A. alter the Vmax of the reaction

B. bind to the same site as the substrate

C. decrease the apparent Km for the substrate

D. decrease the turnover number

E. form an irreversible complex with the enzyme

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. Substances that reduce the activity of an enzyme are called inhibitors.
Reversible inhibitors bind to an enzyme but rapidly dissociate from it [in contrast to irreversible
inhibitors (choice E), which bind tightly and dissociate very slowly from the enzyme]. There are
several types of reversible inhibitors:

Competitive inhibitors usually resemble the substrate and compete with it for binding at the active
site (choice B). Thus, increasing the concentration of substrate will decrease the percent
inhibition of the enzyme. The Vmax is unchanged, but the Km is increased.

A noncompetitive inhibitor binds with equal affinity to both enzyme and enzyme-substrate complex.
This binding leads to a distortion of the substrate binding site, so new substrate cannot bind
and/or the product cannot be released. In this kind of inhibition, the Vmax is decreased (choice A),
but the Km is not altered. Adding more substrate will not reverse this type of inhibition. This is
the equivalent of decreasing the turnover number (choice D).

An uncompetitive inhibitor does not bind to free enzyme, but binds to the enzyme-substrate complex
at a site other than the catalytic site. Once bound by the inhibitor, the enzyme is trapped in the
enzyme-substrate complex state until the inhibitor dissociates. In this kind of inhibition, the
slope of the reaction (which is the ratio Km/Vmax) remains the same, but both Vmax (choice A) and Km
(choice C) are reduced.

A 9-year-old child in a developing country is brought to a clinic by his parents because he has trouble
keeping up with his classmates on the playground. Physical examination is remarkable for pulmonary
rales. Chest x-ray shows biventricular dilation of the heart. Deficiency of which of the following
vitamins is the most likely cause of this child's condition ?

A. Ascorbic acid

B. Retinol

C. Riboflavin

D. Thiamine

E. Vitamin K

Explanation:

The correct answer is D. Thiamine deficiency is most frequently encountered in alcoholics and in
developing countries. Deficiency of this vitamin can take several forms: dilated cardiomyopathy
(“wet beriberi &rdquo, polyneuropathy (“dry beriberi&rdquo, and mamillary body
degeneration (Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome).

Ascorbic acid (choice A, Vitamin C) deficiency causes scurvy, associated with capillary fragility,
bony abnormalities, and poor wound healing.

Retinol (choice B, Vitamin A) deficiency causes blindness and impaired immune responses.

Riboflavin ( choice C) deficiency causes cheilosis, glossitis, and dermatitis.

Vitamin K (choice E) deficiency causes impaired blood clotting because of decreased production of
factors II, VII, IX, and X.

A 2-month-old child is evaluated for failure to thrive. As the pediatrician is examining the child, a
convulsion occurs. Stat serum chemistries demonstrate severe hypoglycemia, hyperlipidemia, lactic
acidosis, and ketosis. Physical examination is remarkable for hepatomegaly, a finding confirmed by CT
scan, which also reveals renomegaly. Which of the following diseases best accounts for this
presentation?

A. Gaucher's disease

B. McArdle's disease

C. Niemann-Pick disease

D. Pompe's disease

E. Von Gierke's disease

Explanation:

The correct answer is E. Von Gierke's disease is a glycogen storage disease caused by a deficiency
of glucose-6-phosphatase. It typically presents with neonatal hypoglycemia, hyperlipidemia, lactic
acidosis, and ketosis. Failure to thrive is common in early life; convulsions may occur due to
profound hypoglycemia. The glycogen accumulation in von Gierke's disease occurs primarily in the
liver and kidneys, accounting for the enlargement of these organs. Gout may develop later because of
the derangement of glucose metabolism.

Even if you don't remember all of the details of the presentation of these genetic diseases, you
should be able to narrow the choices:

Gaucher's disease (choice A) and Niemann-Pick disease (choice C) are lipid storage diseases, and
would not be expected to produce hypoglycemia.

The other diseases are glycogen storage diseases, but McArdle's (choice B) and Pompe's (choice D)
disease affect muscle rather than liver, and would not be expected to produce profound hypoglycemia
since the liver is the major source for blood glucose.

An individual with megaloblastic anemia is found to have a significant folate deficiency. Erythropoiesis
is hampered in this man due to his inability to perform which type of enzymatic reaction?

A. Acyl transfer

B. Carboxylation

C. Decarboxylation

D. Hydroxylation

E. Methylation

Explanation:

The correct answer is E. Folic acid is a pteridine vitamin that exists as tetrahydrofolate (TH4) in
its most reduced form. TH4 can accept methyl, methylene, or formyl carbons and transfer them as
methyl groups. This function is vital in nucleotide and amino acid synthesis.

Pantothenic acid is a key vitamin in acyl transfer reactions (choice A). It forms part of coenzyme
A, which transfers acyl groups in thiol esters as acetyl CoA, succinyl CoA, and other acyl CoA
forms.

Important vitamins in carboxylation reactions (choice B) include biotin and vitamin K. Biotin
carries the carboxyl group in the pyruvate carboxylase and acetyl CoA carboxylase reactions, and
vitamin K is utilized in post-translational carboxylation of amino acid residues in blood clotting
factors.

Oxidative decarboxylation reactions (choice C) require thiamine (vitamin B1). Examples include the
pyruvate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complexes.

Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) is a coenzyme in the hydroxylation (choice D) of lysyl and prolyl residues
of collagen.

A 10-year-old child is suspected of having pellagra because of chronic symptoms including diarrhea, a
red scaly rash, and mild cerebellar ataxia. However, his diet is not deficient in protein and he
appears to be ingesting adequate amounts of niacin. A sister has a similar problem. Chemical
analysis of his urine demonstrates large amounts of free amino acids. Which of the following is the
most likely diagnosis?

A. Alkaptonuria

B. Carcinoid syndrome

C. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome

D. Hartnup's disease

E. Scurvy

Explanation:

The correct answer is D. The child has Hartnup's disease. This condition clinically resembles
pellagra ("diarrhea, dementia, and dermatitis"), and may be misdiagnosed as this nutritional
(niacin) deficiency. In fact, niacin therapy may actually be helpful in controlling the symptoms.
The underlying problem is a defect in the epithelial transport of neutral amino acids, including
tryptophan, which can act as a precursor of niacin. The defective amino acid transport leads to poor
absorption of dietary amino acids as well as excess amino acid secretion in the urine.

Alkaptonuria (choice A) is characterized by urine that turns black upon standing and a debilitating
arthritis.

Carcinoid syndrome (choice B) is seen in patients with carcinoid tumor. It is characterized by
episodes of flushing, diarrhea, hypertension, and bronchoconstriction.

Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (choice C) is a disease characterized by abnormal collagen formation leading
to very elastic skin, joint problems, and fragility of some blood vessels and the intestines.

Scurvy (choice E) is due to vitamin C deficiency. It is characterized by easy bruising and gum
problems.

Which of the following amino acids is most responsible for the buffering capacity of hemoglobin and
other proteins?

A. Arginine

B. Aspartic acid

C. Glutamic acid

D. Histidine

E. Lysine

Explanation:

The correct answer is D. Remember that a buffer is most effective when its pKa is within the pH
range of the surrounding medium. Histidine is the only amino acid with good buffering capacity at
physiologic pH. The imidazole side chain of histidine has a pKa around 6.0 and can reversibly
donate and accept protons at physiologic pH.

Arginine (choice A) and lysine (choice E) are basic amino acids with pKa's of 12.5 and 10.5,
respectively; at physiologic pH both will behave as bases and accept protons.

Aspartic acid (choice B) and glutamic acid (choice C) are acidic amino acids with pKa's of
approximately 4; at physiologic pH they will behave as acids and donate protons.

An 8-month-old female child is brought to medical attention because her first four teeth show several
discrete, discolored, circumferential bands that show very little enamel. Excessive levels of which
of the following may have produced this defect?

A. Bilirubin

B. Fluoride

C. Parathormone

D. Thyroid hormone

E. Vitamin C

Explanation:

The correct answer is B. Fluoride excess causes direct injury to ameloblasts, leading to inadequate
production of tooth enamel. The resultant defect in enamel production causes recessed and discolored
rings on the emerging teeth. Other conditions that cause enamel hypoplasia include inadequate levels
of calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins A, C, or D, hypothyroidism, and hypoparathyroidism.

Jaundice in the newborn period may cause bilirubin (choice A) deposition in the developing teeth,
resulting in pigmented, but otherwise normal teeth.

Hyperparathyroidism (choice C), with resultant hypercalcemia, will result in osteoporosis, renal
stones, and neuromuscular weakness, but no obvious dental changes. Enamel hypoplasia is associated
with hypoparathyroidism.

Hyperthyroidism (choice D) characteristically produces cardiac and nervous disturbances, weight
loss, hypermetabolism, and proptosis, but does not cause enamel hypoplasia. Hypothyroidism, not
hyperthyroidism, produces enamel hypoplasia.

Excess dietary vitamin C (choice E) is generally excreted in the urine and produces no systemic
pathology. Scurvy, due to inadequate vitamin C, may produce enamel hypoplasia.

    What you posted made a ton of sense. But, consider this, suppose

    I mean "Biochemistry Tricky Questions" is kinda vanilla. You might peek at Yahoo's front page and watch how they write post headlines to get viewers to open the links. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about what you've written.
    In my opinion, it might bring your website a little livelier.
