Síndrome de Reye. Hepatoencefalopatia tóxica. Déficit en la B- Oxidación de los ácidos grasos

Greetings everyone, in this video we'll review the metabolic steps of hepatocytes and mitochondria. We'll discuss Reye's syndrome, which occurs during respiratory infections, causing primarily mitochondrial liver damage. This leads to alterations in the beta-oxidation of fatty acids, the formation of Acetyl-CoA, and its relationship with acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin). This condition can progress to ammonia encephalopathy with consequent intracranial hypertension.
