25
what organ takes up free glycerol?
hepatocytes; liver cell
26
free FAs are taken up by whom
other tissues that need them; muscle
27
what happens to free FAs when they are taken up
enter cell's mito matrix to under go beta oxidation to make acetyl coA which enters CAC cycle to make energy
28
what do perlipins function to do?
proteins that surround lipid droplets in adipocytes and muscle cells containing TAGS to regulate physical access to HSL (regulate lipolysis)
29
overexpression of perlipin causes?
inhibits lipolysis as there is no access to TAGs
30
-/- of perilipin causes?
no perilipin = lots of breakdown and is now a target for obesity treatment
31
what is the order of a free FAs enter the mito matrix of a cell?
the cell's membrane, the outer mito membrane, the inner mito membrane, and then the mito matrix
32
what occurs in the mito matrix when FAs reach there
beta-oxidation
33
free FAs are formed in the _ -> released into the _ -> taken up by various _ types
formed in adipocytes released into blood stream various cell types
34
what happens in phase I of FA breakdown
activation and transport to mito matrix
35
how does the FA get passed the outer mito membrane
the FA is activated by addition of coA (occurs in the cytosol)
36
how does FA-coA get passed the inner mito mem
carnitine displaces the coA to make permeable (happens in inter mem space)
37
outer mito mem is not permeable to
FA
38
inner mito mem is not permeable to
FACoA
39
what happens of phase II of FA breakdown
carnitine is lost and coA is added again undergoes beta oxidation
40
what are the products of beta oxidation
FADH2, NADH, and acetyl coA
41
what is the fate of acetyl coA
taken up by liver to make ketone bodies or enter TCA cycle to make energy
42
by using ATP, the carboxyl group of a FA when added with coA undergoes
FA activation via a thioester bond to make Fatty Acyl CoA
43
to get FAs into mito matrix, what must occur?
carnitine must replace coA
44
what is the enzyme to get FAs into the mito matrix
carnitine acyltransferase I
45
what is the rate limiting enzyme of FA degradation
carnitine acyltransferase I/CPT-1
46
what does malonyl coA do?
inhibits the rate limiting enzyme of FA degradation
47
once inside matrix, acyl carnitine (FA-carnitine) is acted upon what enzyme to do what?
acted upon by carnitine acyltransferase II to release FA-coA and carnitine
48
what are the 4 enzymes of phase 1
1. FA-coA synthase 2. CPT-1 (carnitine palmitoyltransferase I) 3. CACT (carnitine-acylcarnitine translocase) 4. CPT-II (carnitine palmitoyltransferase II)
49
what does FA-coA synthase do
activates free FAs to cross outer mito mem
50
what does CPT-1 do?
rate limiting enzyme in FA degradation forms FA-carnitine
51
what does CACT do
antiporter that shuttles carnitine
52
CPT-II does what
frees carnitine and makes FA-coA available for beta oxidation
53
beta oxidation cuts how many carbons at a time?
2
54
what are the 4 steps of beta oxidation
1. oxidation 2. hydration 3. oxidation 4. thiolysis
55
what is the enzyme responsible for the first step of beta oxidation
acyl coA dehydrogenase ACAD
56
what do the 4 main steps of beta oxidation generate
FADH2, NADH, and acetyl coA
57
where does FADH2 go
delivers e-s to CoQ of ETC
58
where does NADH go
delivers e-s to complex I of ETC
59
where does acetyl co go
enter TCA cycle
60
C16 FA-coA + 7FAD + 7NAD + 7coA + 7H20 ->
7FADH2 + 7NADH + 7(H+) + 8 acetyl coA
61
how much ATP did we use for activating an FA
2
62
why do ketone bodies form?
form as an energy source under conditions of starvation
63
ketone bodies have what properties as compounds
are water soluble and acidic
64
ketone bodies are only produced where
liver
65
ketone bodies provide energy for
peripheral tissues and brain during fasting and starvation
66
how do formation of ketone bodies start
starts with condensation of 2 acetyl coAs and a third acetyl coA
67
utilization of acetoacetate is a _ process
reverse
68
free FAs breakdown into _
acetyl coA
69
too much acetyl coA in the cell promotes synthesis of _
ketone bodies
70
after a first hours of fasting, the fuel supply is
blood glucose followed by glycogen stored in liver and muscle
71
after 1 day of fasting, fuel source is
TAGs in adipose tissue
72
after 3 days of fasting, fuel source is
ketone bodies made in liver and proteins in muscles
73
after 1-2 weeks of starvation, energy source is
brain switches to ketone body
74
after 2-3 months of starvation, fuel source is
proteins lead to coma and death
75
physiological ketosis is
mild to moderate increase in ketone bodies
76
pathological ketoacidosis
occurs when glucagon/insulin ratio ratio is increased (reduced OAA)
