  • Title: Hypoketosis as a cause of symptoms in childhood hypoglycemia.
    Author: Teijema HL, van Gelderen HH, Giesberts MA.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr; 1980 Jun; 134(1):51-5. PubMed ID: 7408910.
    Abstract:
    Children with symptomatic hypoglycemia and asymptomatic hypoglycemia-prone children were shown to differ in the degree of ketosis after a 20 h fast. In the latter children the close negative correlation between ketone body levels and glucose levels yielded a regression line against which the former children's data could be compared. Half of the patients were found to be hypoketotic during hypoglycemia. The significance of this hypoketosis in the symptomatology is discussed. The finding of other abnormal responses to fasting, particularly in the patients' nitrogen metabolism, suggests that all these aberrations have a common cause which may be of hepatic origin.
