Q

What does insulin cause the LR to do with acyl units (fat)?

A

esterifies them to TG’s and releases to blood stream

- if no insulin (so no sugar avail), then LR will beta oxidize in mitochondria for Energy

Q

Why is HDL so good?

flaxseed

31
Q

Where do you get Arachadonic Acid?

A

animal fats

32
Q

Where do you get EPA/DHA?

A

fish… or from alpha-lenolenic acid

33
Q

Eicosanoids:

if increase in Delta-5 Desaturase…

A

increase proinflam cytokines
series 2 and 1
- stimulated by insulin

34
Q

Eicosanoids:

Series 1 & 3 use what enzyme to make anti-inflam enzymes?

A

Delta-6 Desaturase

35

Eicosanoids are made by

A

oxidation of 20C FA’s

36

Which enzymes gets Arachadonic Acid out of the phospholipid membrane of a cell?

A

Phospholipase A2

37
Q

Phospholipase A2 is stimulated and inhibited by?

A

Stimulated: Angiotensin ll, bradykinin, EPI, Thrombin
Inhibited: corticosteroids

38
Q

NSAIDS block what enzyme? from making what?

A

Cyclooxygenase

39
Q

Arachadonate –> Leukotrienes

enzyme?

A

Lipoxygenase

40

Enzyme responsible for breakdown of TG’s in adipose cell to FFA’s
Stimulate?
Inhibit?

A

Hormone Sensitive Lipase

  • stimulated by EPI and Cortisol
  • inhibited by insulin
46
Q

Ketones are toxic to ? but can be used by what and what for E.

A

toxic to LR

- muscle and brain can use for E

47
Q

How to get Fat into Mitochondria for E?

use?

A

CPT l
CPT ll
CAT

48
Q

Where is CPT l and what does it do?

A

Outer mitochondrial membrane

- takes CoA off fat and puts carnitine on

49
Q

Where is CAT and what does it do?

A

Inner mitochondrial membrane

- delivers fat to CPT ll and recycles Carnitine

50
Q

Where is CPT ll and what does it do?

A

Inner mitochondrial membrane

- forces fat into mitochondria

51
Q

Where does metabolism of the FFA take place?

A

LR
