1. Briefly explain why an individual with Aldolase B deficiency will suffer from hypoglycemia upon ingestion of fructose. Make sure to mention the affected pathways and explain why these are affected. 2. Briefly explain the mechanism involved when an individual with glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency develops an episode of hemolytic crisis after eating fava beans. Make sure to mention pathways and enzymes involved.
