Chemistry Part 2 Flashcards
transports dietary lipids to the body
chylomicrons
transports endogenous lipids from liver to body
VLDL
transports cholesterol from liver to body
LDL
Removes excess cholesterol from the blood, uses LCAT enzyme
HDL
breakdown of triglycerides using lipase
lipolysis
cuts FA chain, requires Carnitine, makes acetyl Coa, occurs in mitochondria
beta oxidation
increases in fasting, diabetes mellitus and pregnancy froming ketone bodies as a by-product of beta oxidation
ketogenesis
primary substrate for lipogenesis
acetyl CoA
most important intermediate for ketogenesis
malonyl CoA
transfers a phosphate
kinase
kreb’s location
mitochondria
ETC location
inner mitochondria
ketogenic amino acids
leucine and lysine
essential amino acids
PVT TIM HALL (phenylalanine, valine, tryptophan, threonine, isoleucine, methionine, histidine, (arganine), leucine, lysine
semi-essential AAs
arginine and histidine
