C8 FA accumulates in liver, poisonous, interferes with urea cycle, elevated levels of ammonia
Some MCFA undergo ω-oxidation forming MC dicarboxylic acids (leads to metabolic acidosis
Patients depend on glucose as energy source
Gluconeogenesis impaired due to low activity of pyruvate carboxylase (due to low ATP and low Acetyl CoA)
Hypoglycemia/sudden death without timely intervention
Most often brought on by periods of fasting or vomiting
