Rationale for change
Provide mechanistic context for why serum glutamine increases in OTC deficiency. The explanation connects the biochemical defect (blocked urea cycle) to the compensatory pathway (ammonia conversion to glutamine) and highlights glutamine’s dual role as an ammonia buffer and neurotoxic metabolite. This addition improves conceptual understanding beyond rote memorization and aligns with high-yield board-style reasoning.
