Q

aerobic krebs cycle

A

1: acetyl-coA (2C) + oxaloacetate (4C) = citrate via citrate synthase
2: citrate (6C) > isocitrate (6C) via aconitate
3: isocitrate (6C) > alpha-Ketoglutarate (5C) via IDH (also make CO2, NADH+H)
4: a-Ketoglutarate (5) > succinyl CoA (4C) via a-KDH (make CO2, NADH+H)
5: succinyl Co-A (4C) > succinate (4C) (ADP > ATP)
6: succinate (4C) > Furamarate (4C) (make FADH2)
7: H2O added to Furamarate > Malate (4C)

Q

electron transport chain (ETC) Steps

A

1: NADH+H at comp1 put e- into complex, drop H at mitochondrial matrix
1a: if FADH not NADH, drop into comp2
2a: e- shuttle down cytochromes to alt gain/lose e-
2b: e- also move along inner membrane cause p+ pumps move H from matrix to inner membrane
3: O2 accept e-; add H = H2O
4: H in intermembrane cause gradient, so sneak into matrix via ATP synthase; this energy cause ADP+P=ATP
5: ATP to intermembrane thru ATP-ADP antiporter protein, also bring in ADP
6: ATP out of mitochondria in exchange for inward ADP

Q

ATP-ADP antiporter protein

A

in step 5 of ETC this antiporter protein sends ATP to intermembrane space (later leave mitochondria) and brings ADP from intermembrane to matrix

19
Q

fat metabolism

A
  • can only be metabolized aerobically
  • come from either FFA+albumin or stored triglycerides
  • brain cannot metabolize FA (too long for BBB)
20
Q

lipolysis in adipocytes

A

epinepherine stimulates hormone sensitive lipase to turn triglycerides into glycerol.
Liver then turns glycerol into glucose via gluconeogenesis

21
Q

beta oxidation

A

reaction that converts fatty acids to acetyl CoA to enter the Krebs cycle

22
Q

beta oxidation steps

A

FA enter muscle attached to albumin thru FATP
1: FA + CoA-SH = activated FA via fatty acyl-coA synthase (uses ATP)
2: FAD > FADH, go to ETC to make 1.5 ATP
3: H2O added, NAD > NADH, to to ETC make 2.5ATP
4: activated FA > acetyl coA via 3HAD, go to Krebs
5: activated FA + Coa-SH ; steps 1-4 repeated until last product is acetyl-coA

23
Q

beta oxidation of fatty acids

A

fatty acid tails are continuously broken down by coA-SH until there are none left, which results in acetyl coA itself (2C)

24
Q

3-HAD

A

3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase
- cleaves C off of activated FA to make acetyl-coA, which goes to the Krebs cycle (aerobic)
- rate limiting enzyme in beta oxidation

25
CHO flame
we need CHO metabolism in the background for FA metabolism to occur. - pyruvate (glycolysis) needed to make oxaloacetate - oxaloacetate + acetyl-coA = Citrate (start Krebs)
26
lipase
enzymes that breaks down triglycerides into free fatty acids (FFA)
27
pyruvate carboxylase
enzyme that converts pyruvate (3C) to oxaloacetate (4C)
28
ketone bodies
oxaloacetate is turned into glucose (GNG) due to low CHO available, meaning it cannot bind w pyruvate to make citrate for Krebs cycle. Liver turns accumulated acetate fragments (acetyl-coA) into metabolites called ketones/ketone bodies. - used as fuel for nerves, muscles, brain
29
Ketosis
if the ketones made in the liver are not used and accumulate = ketosis - acidic, cause affect acid-base balance - inadequate diet (anorexia, diabetes) - benign (anorexia) or diabetic "keto-acidosis" (toxic)
30
amino acid (AA) functions
form body structures and enzymes fuel source (protein metabolism) gluconeogenic precursors - proteins leave body via urea
31
amino acid metabolism
amino group (N) must be removed from AA first by: - transamination: move N to keto group, most common make amino acid "glutamate" (most common method) - oxidative deamination: remove N entirely, excrete via urea
32
amino acids entering Krebs cycle
- pyruvate: alanine, glycine, cysteine, +3 more - acetyl coA: isoleucine - acetoacetate: leucine, lysine, +3 more - a-Ketoglutarate (via glutamate): histidine, proline +2 - succinyl coA: isoleucine, valine, +2 more - fumarate: tyrosine, phenylaline - oxaloacetate: asparagine, aspartate
33
acetyl-coA as the "crossroad"
acetyl co-A is the cross road for... - made from pyruvate (glycolysis) - made from FA spiral - makes lipogenesis -makes ketone bodies - makes cholesterol, steroids - makes/made by AA & kick start krebs! - excessive Acetyl coA turns into lipogenesis (fat)
34
control of aerobic metabolism
substrate location and limitation effect of exercise intensity effect of exercise duration key metabolic regulators of aerobic ATP prod. rate limiting enzymes
35
substrate location and limitations
adipose: triglycerides (50-100k kcal) = FFA blood plasma: albumin+FFA, glycerol muscle: triglycerides (2-3k kcal)=FA; glycogen (1-3k kcal) blood plasma: liver glycogen (200-400kcal) > glucose
36
effect of exercise intensity
at rest burn fats, at certain point in exercise change to mostly burn carbs (cross over concept) - trainable point (more aerobically fit = burn fat longer, burn carbs later) - still burn same amount FA but as more intense = more carbs burnt
37
effect of exercise duration
short duration = mostly CHO longer duration = more FA - glycogen depleted, rely on FA
38
key metabolic regulators of aerobic ATP production
energy state (more ADP = more respiration, want ATP) redox state (more NAD = more respiration (want NADH) intracellular Ca (more Ca = more respiration)
39
rate limiting enzymes
glycolysis - phosphofructokinase krebs cycle = isocitrate dehydrogenase beta-oxidation = 3HAD ETC = cytochrome oxidase
40
benefits of aerobic training
substrates mitochondria, oxidative enzymes glycogen sparing structural changes
41
substrate changes from aerobic training
- # of GLUT4 increase, yet GLUT4 translocation decreases - take up and use less glucose (slower glycogen depletion) - increase liver glycogen stores - lower RER - increase release of FFA from adipose - increase plasma FFA in submax exercise - increase fat storage near mitochondria - increase capacity to use fats - increase in ability to use branched AA and to make alanine (makes acetyl-coA)
42
change in mitochondria and oxidative enzymes
increase in size and number of mitochondria - SS adapt better w long duration - IM adapt best from high intensity intervals - more contractions = more changes in mitochondria - larger mitochondria mean more pyruvate moved in - more key enzymes available and used
43
glycogen sparing from aerobic training
more mitochondria = spare glucose and burn more fat - decrease GLUT4 translocation despite more [GLUT4] - better at using fat for fuel (metabolic flexibility)
44
structural changes from aerobic training
increase capillarization and increase substrate supply and removal of metabolic waste - shift intermediate fibers > ST fibers - more GLUT4 = more insulin sensitive
