Galactose Metabolism and Galactosemia - Review 

In this video I have explained galactose metabolism along with galactosemia condition. Fate of milk carbohydrate lactose into glucose and galactose and galactose metabolism into glucose 1 phosphate is explained. important enzymes like galactokinase and galactose 1 phosphate uridyl transferase ( GALT) enzyme and their defieicny leading to non-classical galactosemia and classical galactosemia, respectively has been explained. All the signes seen in these disorders like bilateral cataract, mental retardation, jaundice and fasting hypoglycemia has been explained.
You can watch my video on why jaundice is seen in classic galactosemia in the link below
