Q

Where is glycerol 3-p produced?

A

In liver, by phosphorilation of glycerol by using enzyme glycerol kinase.
Or by reduction of dihydroxyacetone phosphate(DHAP) which is derived from glycolysi.
In adipose tissue only by reduction of DHAP

Q

Where is glycerol kinase enzyme present?

A

In the liver. And it is absent in adipose tissue, that is why adipose tissue produces glycerol 3-p by only DHAP and not by phosphorylation of glycerol.

Q

What is the way glycerol 3-p is produced in adipose tissue?

A

Only by DHAP which is an intermediate of Glycolysis.

So glycerol 3-p is produced by reduction of DHAP.

Q

In which step of TAG synthesis phospfate is removed?

A

In converting phosphatidic acid into diacylglycerol

19
Q

Adipose tissue stores fatty acids(FA) only when ………..

A

Glycolysis is activated which means in fed state which means when insulin is increased in blood

20
Q

When doe the adipose tissue storage of TAG increases?

A

After a meal whan insulin levels are elevated in blood

21
Q

In ………. State, in adipose tissue, glucose is converted into glycerol 3-p

A

Fed state

22
Q

During fasting state a decrease in insulin and an increase in glucagon cause ………

A

cAMP levles rise in adipose tissue.

The rising of cAMP stimulates lipolysis.

23
Q

…………. Stimulates lipolysis by acting as a 2nd massenger.

A

Glucagon

24
Q

What enzyme acts in fasting state that comverts TAG into glycerol and FA ?

A

Hormone Sensitive Lipase (HSL)

25
Q

What enzyme works to degrade trigleceride ?

A

(HSL) hormone sensitive lipase enzyme

26
Q

What is Triacylglycerol (TAG) hydrolysis?

A

When TAG is degraded to glycerol and FA.
by using the enzyme HSL

HSL removes ester bonds between glycerol and FA

27
Q

Lipase degrades TAG into …………. Which is degraded again by using lipase into ……… which again degraded into ………. By using lipase that breaks the ester bonds between glycerol and FA.

A

Diacylglycerol
2-monoacylglycerol
Glycerol

28
Q

Free FA which is removed while degradation by using enzyme lipase (HSL) are used for what?

A

These free FA breaks down into acetyle co-A , then it inters the citric cycle where these are oxidized.
So oxidation happens to free FA

29
Q

What happens to free glycerol that is produced from degradation of TAG ?

A

Goes to glucogenesis for energy

30
Q

Compound lipods are devided into

A
  1. Phospholipids which are devided into 2 types ( glycerophospholipids and sphingophospholipids )
  2. Glycolipids
31
Q

Glycolipids examples

A

Cerebrosides ( for brain)

Gangliosides ( for ganglions)

32
Q

Examples of glycerophospholipods

A

Lecithins ( surfactant)
Cephalins ( blood clotting)
Inositol ( hormone action)

33
Q

What is lecithins and what is it used for?

A

It is a type of glycerophospholipids , and it is used as a surfactant

34
Q

What is is cephalins and what is it used for?

A

It is a glycerophospholipid and is used for blood clotting

35
Q

What is is inositol and what is it used for?

A

It is a glycerophospholipid and is used as a hormone

36
Q

What is is sphingomyelin and what is it used for?

A

It is a sphingophospholipid and it is used in the nervous system , myelin sheets, brain and also in lungs

37
Q

What does a simple lipid contain?

A

Glycerol + 3 FA

38
Q

What does a phospholipid contain ?

A

Glycerol+ 2FA + phosphate + nitrogen base

39
Q

What does a sphingolipid contain?

A

Sphingosine + FA + p + nitrogen base

40
Q

Where are glycerophospholipids synthesized?

A

Smooth endoplsmic reticulum

41
Q

Perecursors of glycerophospholipids ?

A

Phosphatidic acid and 1,2 diacylglyceeol (DAG)

42
Q

Is glycerophospholipids an intermidiate in TAG metabolism?

A

Yes

43
Q

Is phosphatidic acid an intermidiate for TAG ?
