6+7. integrative metabolism lipids Flashcards
fat utilization during type of exercise
- decrease with intensity
- increase with duration
fat form in adipose and muscle
triacylglycerol (TAG)
triglyceride (TG)
blood fat in what forms
- where from
- albumin-free fatty acids (FFA or FA - from adipose)
- chylomicrons (intestinal derived)
- VLDL (liver)
advantages of fat as fuel
- more energy/gram
- more storage (~120h of marathon running)
- dont need to consume before or after
disadvantages of fat as fuel
- ~65VO2 max is max intensity sustained fat exclusively
- fatty acids must be bound
- cant be used anaerobically
potential limiting factors for fatty acid use
- mobilization FFA from adipose
- FFA uptake by muscle (transport across sarcolemma)
- mitochondrial membrane transport
- fat oxidation
role of insulin in fat metabolism
inhibits hormone sensitive lipase (HSL)
result
- reduces intracellular lipolysis of TG
- promotes TAG storage in adipocyte
role of EPI in FFA mobilization
binds membrane receptor (adenylate cyclase)
- cAMP produced
- activates (phosphorylates protein kinase A
- moves “perilipin” coating on lipid droplet
- allows hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) to bind
- TAG converted to FFAs
perilipins
proteins coating on lipid droplets that prevents HSL from binding
- removed by phosphorylated protein kinase A
affects of exercise on adipose tissue lipolysis
increased HSL amount and sensitivity to stim by EPI (5 or 20 min)
- levels vary depending on fat deposit
FFA release from adipose tissue during high intensity
- rate limiting step?
impaired
- reduced blood flow to adipose tissue
- not enough albumin reaches adipocyte for transport
- FAs must be bound in blood
- limiting step
- infused FA into blood improves fat oxidation at high intensities
FFA uptake into skeletal muscle and usage
FFA freely crosses membrane into cytosol
- converted to “fatty acyl CoA”
- crosses into mitochondria
- beta oxidation
- acetyl CoA
- citric acid cycle
exercise and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) concentration in skeletal muscle
increased
- higher post 8h
- even higher post 22h
ensures increased flux of fatty acids to contracting muscle
FA sacrolemmal transporters in muscle
FAT/CD36
- fatty acid translocase
- most important **
FABPpm
- fatty acid binding protein (plasma membrane)
- peripheral protein
- doesnt span the membrane
FATP1-6
- family of fatty acid transporters
ACS1
plasma membrane acyl-CoA synthetase
- FA to acyl-CoA
