Fatty Acid Synthesis

  • what is produced
  • saturated vs unaturated
  • omega FA
  • essential
  • what do we use
A
  • palmitic acid -> 16 c
  • no double vs double, all double must be 3 bond away from each other and cannot havy any double bonds after 6th carbon
  • named on location of double bone, omega 3 and 6
  • anything reater than 16 carbons
  • 2 NADPH, each round add 2 carbons, ATP = # carbons - 1
58
Q

Citrate Accumulation in cytoplasm

- what happens

A
  • allosteric inhibition of PFK1, activation of RLE of FA synthesis, gets divided into Acetyl CoA and OAA via lyase -> Acetyl CoA into fatty acid synthesis
59
Q

Formation of arachodonic acid

  • how
  • what is is made into
  • COX1
  • COX2
  • lipoxygenase
A
  • linoleic (omega 6)-> linolenic acid -> arachadonic acid through phospholipase A2
  • COX1, COX2, 5-lipoxygenase
  • homeostatic function
  • inflammation
  • 5- HPETE -> leukotriene -> vasoconstriction, increase vasc permeability, bronchospasm
60
Q

COX pathway

  • thromboxane
  • PGE2/ PGD2
  • PGF2
  • PGI2
A
  • increases vasoconstriction, increases platelet aggregation
  • vasodilates, increases vascular permeability
  • causes vasoconstriction, responsible for painful menstural cramps
  • vasdilation, inhibition of platelet aggregation
61
Q

Aspirin

  • what is it
  • baby
  • 650 or above
  • AE: GI, blood, kids, kidneys
A
  • irreversible blocker of cox pathway through acetylation
  • anti-platelet
  • anti - pyretic, anti- pain
  • GI uleration (bc prostaglandin), thrombocytopenia, cinchonism, reye (liver destruction -> leady to fatty liver), interstitial nephritis (toxic substances can cause damage to interstitium)
62
Q

NSAIDs

  • Indomethacin
  • Ibuprofen
  • Naproxen
A
  • used for gout and to close PDA
  • MC OTC NSAID
  • dysmennorrhea but holds onto Na
63
Q

Other Anti-platelets

  • GpIIb/IIIa inhibitors
  • clopidogrel
  • aspirin
  • dipyridamole
A
  • block GPIIb-IIIa receptor that is used to bind to fibrinogen
  • prevent ADP from binding back on platelet and activating it
  • inactivates COX and prevents ADP and TXA2 from being released and activating platelets
  • inhibits phosphodiesterase from increasing cAMP in platelets and activating COX
64
Q

Steroid

  • MOA
  • what happens
  • examples oral
  • example IV
  • produces surfactant
  • stimulate appetite in CA patients
  • nasal allergies
  • endometriosis
  • mast cell stabilizer: MOA and example
A
  • inhibit phospholipase A
  • kills eosinophils, t cells, macrophage migration, stabilizes mast cells (no histamine) and endothelium (no selectins or intigrins)
  • prednisone
  • methylprednisone
  • beclomethasone and betamethasone
  • megestrol
  • fluticaonse and momeatsone
  • danazol
  • will not degranulate, Cromolyn
65
Q

Leukotriene synthesis

  • MOA
  • MC
A
  • block leukotriene receptor or inhibit lipoxygenase pathway

- montelukast

66
Q

Triglyceride Synthesis

  • what does it do
  • location
  • starts w, add
  • 1 16 chain, 2 16 chains, 3 16 chain
  • modification
A
  • storage of FA chains
  • liver
  • glycerol 3 phosphate, 16 carbon chains
  • lysophosphatidic acid, phosphatidic acid, triacylglycerol
  • serine (phosphatidylserine), choline (phosphatidylcholine), ethanolamine w/ CDP
67
Q

Sphingolipid

  • what is it
  • sphingosine
  • sphingomyelin
  • ceramide
  • break down
A
  • long complex lipid made used by neuronal tissue
  • lipid based signaler
  • part of myelin sheath
  • role in apoptosis; add sugar -> will make cerebroside; + group of sugars -> ganglioside
  • lysosome and phagolysosome
68
Q

Cholesterol

  • component
  • RLE
  • activation
  • inhibition
A
  • membranes
  • HMG CoA reductase
  • HMG CoA
  • Dietary Cholesterol
69
Q

Cholesterol Meds

  • orlistat
  • ezetimibe
  • statins
  • niacin
A
  • block absorption of chol by inhibition of panreatic lipase; steatorrhea
  • decreases chol absorption by inhibiting it from crossing crossing brush border of small intestine; upregulation of LDL receptors and lower circulating levels; steatorrhea
  • most popular and widely used chol meds; inhibit HMG CoA reductase
  • last resort when other meds fail to produce satisfactory results; inhibit VLDL production in liver
70
Q

Urea Cycle

  • when does it occur
  • where
  • RLE
  • activator
  • pathway
  • what happens with liver failure
  • TX for urea with liver failure
A
  • anabolic and catabolic state
  • liver and collecting duct
  • carbamoyl phosphate synthase 1
  • NH4 and N-acetyl glutamate (excessive transamination activates RLE)
  • ammonia + HCO3+ 2 ATP (CPS1) -> Carbamoyl phosphate + ornthine -> citrulline -> out of mito -> argininosuccinate -> fumarate and arginine -> into mito -> back to ornthine to be used again
  • unable to properly partake in urea cycle
  • limit protein intake, and give neomycin (kills off urease positive bacteria to decrease urea); lactulose -> pulls ammonia out from brain and convert to NH4 allowing for excretion through feces
