and skeletal muscle, where small
amounts of energy can be obtained by
converting acetoacetate or hydroxybutyrate back to acetyl CoA
Ketone bodies
▪ Large amounts of acetyl CoA accumulate.
▪ Two acetyl CoA molecules combine to form acetoacetyl CoA.
▪ Acetoacetyl CoA hydrolyzes to acetoacetate, a ketone body.
▪ Acetoacetate reduces to hydroxybutyrate or loses CO2 to form acetone, both ketone bodies
ketogenesis
In diabetes, diets high in fat, and starvation.
▪ As ketone bodies accumulate.
▪ When acidic ketone bodies lowers blood pH below 7.4 (acidosis).
Ketosis
▪ Insulin does not function properly.
▪ Glucose levels are insufficient for energy needs.
▪ Fats are broken down to acetyl CoA.
▪ Ketogenesis produces ketone bodies.
Ketone bodies and in diabetes
In all types of diabetes, insufficient amounts of glucose are available in the muscle, liver, and adipose tissue. OH TAPOS????????
As a result, liver cells synthesize
glucose from noncarbohydrate sources
(gluconeogenesis) and break down fat, elevating the acetyl CoA level. Excess acetyl CoA undergoes ketogenesis, and ketone bodies accumulate in the blood. As the level of acetone increases, its odor can be detected on the breath of a person with uncontrolled diabetes who is in ketosis.

Urea cycle conversion:
Ammonium ion to urea
▪ Aspartate to Fumarate
▪ 3ATP to 2ADP, AMP, 4Pi
site of Formation of urea
cytosol
site of Formation of carbamoyl phosphate
mitochondrion
site of Aspartate combines with citrulline
cytosol
site where Fumarate is cleaved
cytosol
citrulline forms
mitochondrion
When needed, carbon skeletons of amino acids are used
to
produce energy by forming intermediates of the citric
acid cycle.
Three-carbon skeletons: pyruvate
alanine
serine
cysteine
4C skeleton oxaloacetate
aspartate
aspargine
5C skeletons glutamate
glutamine
glutamate
proline
arginine
histidine
Amino acids are classified as _ if they generate pyruvate or oxaloacete, which can be used to synthesize glucose
Glucogenic
Amino acids are classified as _ if they generate acetoacetyl CoA or acetyl CoA, which can form ketone bodies or fatty
acids
ketogenic
acetyl coa
isoleucine
leucine
threonine
tryptophan
acetoacetyl CoA
leucine
lysine
phenylalanine
tyrosine
AA pathways to CAC Ketone bodies process:
pyruvate to acetyl CoA to acetoacetyl CoA then ketogenesis
PYRUVATE AA PATHWAYS:
Alanine
glycine
cysteine
serine
threonine
tryptophan
Overview of Metabolism: (6)
- Catabolic pathways degrade large molecules.
- Anabolic pathway synthesize molecules.
- Branch points determine which compounds are degraded to acetyl CoA to meet energy needs or converted to glycogen for storage.
- Excess glucose is converted to body fat.
- Fatty acids and amino acids are used for energy when carbohydrates are not available.
- Some amino acids are produced by transamination.
