Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD) is a disorder dealing with fatty acid oxidation and can be characterized by hypoglycemic crisis during stressful conditions. | Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD) is a disorder dealing with fatty acid oxidation and can be characterized by hypoglycemic crisis during stressful conditions. MCADD is the most common metabolic defect of fatty acid oxidation. Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase is a flavoprotein that catalyzes the first reaction in 𝛽-oxidation of fatty acids. The resulting effects include a decrease of ketone production and an increase in medium-chain fatty acid concentration. | ||
