Skin flushing and nasal congestion are the most common symptoms of intolerance after alcohol ingestion. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] It may also be characterized as intolerance causing hangover symptoms similar to the "disulfiram-like reaction" of aldehyde dehydrogenase deficiency or chronic fatigue syndrome .
3-hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency is a rare condition that prevents the body from converting certain fats to energy, particularly during fasting. [1] Normally, through a process called fatty acid oxidation , several enzymes work in a step-wise fashion to metabolize fats and convert them to energy.
Most individuals with G6PD deficiency are asymptomatic.When it induces hemolysis, the effect is usually short-lived. [5]Most people who develop symptoms are male, due to the X-linked pattern of inheritance, but female carriers can be affected due to unfavorable lyonization or skewed X-inactivation, where random inactivation of an X-chromosome in certain cells creates a population of G6PD ...
Male infants that reach full term display more severe symptoms than females, and exhibit high mortality within the first few years of life [9] [7] Prenatal onset may present with non-specific signs such as low Apgar scores and small for gestational age.
ACADVL is linked with very long-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency (VLCADD), which has many symptoms, and typically presents as one of three phenotypes. The first is severe, with an early childhood onset and high mortality rate; the most common symptom is this form is cardiomyopathy. The second is a late onset childhood form, with ...
Isobutyryl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency is a rare metabolic disorder in which the body is unable to process certain amino acids properly. [ 1 ] People with this disorder have inadequate levels of an enzyme that helps break down the amino acid valine , resulting in a buildup of valine in the urine, a symptom called valinuria .
Thiamine (vitamin B 1) may be given if pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency is known or suspected. The symptoms of lactic acidosis are treated by supplementing the diet with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) or sodium citrate , but these substances do not treat the cause of Leigh syndrome.
2-Methylbutyryl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder. [2] It causes the body to be unable to process the amino acid isoleucine properly. Initial case reports identified individuals with developmental delay and epilepsy , however most cases identified through newborn screening have been asymptomatic .
