The hyperinsulinemia/hyperammonemia (HI/HA) syndrome—the secondmost common form of congenital hyperinsulinism—is a rare autosomal dominant disease manifested by hypoglycemic symptoms and elevated serum ammonia triggered by fasting or high-protein meals (1). In 1955, Cochrane et al. described a child and her father, both with hypoglycemia that was aggravated by consumption of a low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet (2). Subsequently, another group identified the gene GLUD1. This gene, located on chromosome 10q23.3, is composed of 13 exons and regulates mitochondrial enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) (3). The GDH enzyme catalyzes glutamate metabolism and plays important roles in the regulation of amino acid−stimulated insulin secretion in β-cells, modulation of amino acid catabolism in hepatocytes, and ammoniagenesis in the brain (4). A total of 14 amino acid residues affected by GDH-activating mutations has been identified in patients with the HI/HA syndrome (5). GDH activity also is subject to complex regulation by GTP, ADP, and leucine (6). For example, the flux of glutamate into the tricarboxylic acid cycle for energy generation is modulated by the mitochondrial energy potential, which, in turn, is controlled by the ratio of GTP to ADP. When the energy potential is high, amino acid oxidation is not required, and GDH enzyme activity shuts down. When energy potential is low, GDH is activated to sustain energy generation through oxidation of amino acids (4). Interestingly, epigallocatechin gallate, a component of green tea, has been shown to be a potent allosteric inhibitor of GDH enzyme activity (7).Insulin secretion is upregulated through increased cellular phosphate energy potential, which is manifested as an increase in the ATP/ADP ratio. Elevated ATP/ADP concentrations …
