(BioChem) Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies are diseasesrelated to the impaired ability to oxidize fatty acids via betaoxidation. Symptoms of these acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficienciesinclude hypoketosis [low blood levels of ketone bodies],hypoglycemia [low blood glucose], and hyperammonemia [increasedblood levels of ammonia] during long periods of fasting. (Pleasetype response, thanks!)
