UCP-1 found in…

A

Brown Adipose tissue only

134
Q

Why use glycogen, in terms of osmotic pressure

A

Glycogen has a fraction of osmotic pressure vs. equivalent #glucose molecules

135
Q

Alpha vs. beta linkages

A 
Alpha = trans - Glycogen
Beta = Cis - Cellulose
136
Q

Ketone + Alcohol =

A

Hemiketal

137
Q

Glycogenin is a protein that…

A

Synthesizes the primer of glycogen synthesis - a short oligosaccharide of glucose

138
Q

Activation step of glycogen synthesis driven by:

A

Cleavage of pyrophosphate

UTP + G-1-P –> UDP-Glucose + PPi

139
Q

AKT effect on glycogen

A

AKT from insulin signalling

AKT deactivates glycogen synthase KINASE, which allows glycogen synthase to be active in dephosphorylated form

140
Q

Fatty acid synthesis location

A

Liver, also adipose tissue to lesser extent

141
Q

What happens without insulin to Acetyl CoA

A

Ketone bodies are made instead of fatty acids

142
Q

Sources of NADPH

A

PPP - Glucose to Ribulose 5-c Sugar, gives 2 NADPH

Malic Enzyme - Malate to pyruvate - gives 1 NADPH

143
Q

What breaks down citrate in cytosol?

A

ATP Citrate lyase

144
Q

AMP kinases

A

Phosphorylate and deactivate carboxylases and HMG CoA Reductase
Activated by AMP
Inhibited by ATP

145
Q

Fatty Acid Synthesis Process:

A
  1. Condensation to release CO2
  2. Reduction of Carbonyl to get alcohol
  3. Dehydration to yield water
  4. Reduction of Double bond
  5. Pass to condensing enzyme to continue
146
Q

Source of carbons for FAS

A

Carbon from DIET

147
Q

Where does saturated–>unsaturated bond happen?

A

Endoplasmic reticulum

148
Q

Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase

A

G-6-P –> some intermediate

Rate controlling step of PPP, generates 1 NADPH

149
Q

Triacylglycerols - Why make them?

A

Hydrophobic, efficient storage, energy WITHOUT NITROGEN

150
Q

Sources of glycerol

A

Adipose tissue depends on DHAP from glycolysis ONLY

Liver gets it from glycerol kinase

151
Q

Common intermediate between Phospholipid vs. TAG biosynthesis

A

Phosphotidate

152
Q

Lipoprotein Lipase

A

During FED state, activated by insulin

153
Q

LDL, HDL, VLDL, Chylomicrons Relative densities and protein concentrations

A

Density and [TAG] = Chylomicrons>VLDL>LDL>HDL

Protein Content = HDL>LDL>VLDL>Chylomicrons

154
Q

Thiolase

A

condenses acetyl coa + acetyl coa to acetoacetyl coA

155
Q

How many ATP from palmitic acid

A 
10 for each acetyl coA through TCA
8*10 = 80
split it 7 times in beta oxidation - 4 ATP each
7*4 = 28
Invested 2 carbons
108-2 = 106 ATP
156
Q

What do you need for Cholesterol synthesis

A

ATP for Isoprene unit formation
NADPH for Mevalonate formation and Cyclization and hydroxylation
O2 for Cyclization and hydroxylation

157
Q

Where does cyclization of Cholesterol occur?

A

Smooth ER

158
Q

Only 5 enzymes that are activated by phosphorylation

A 
FBPase-2
Glycogen phosphorylase
Perilipin
HS Lipase 
AMPKinase
159
Q

Fatty Acid Oxidation regulated by:

A

Rate of oxidation of NADH and FADH2 in TCA cycle
ATP/ADP ratio - BECAUSE TCA CYCLE DEPENDS ON IT TOO
Malonyl CoA inhibits
High fatty acids activates

160
Q

Rate limiting enzyme of TAG degradation

A

HS lipase- phosphorylated and activated by PKA

161
Q

Rate Limiting enzyme in FA Oxidation

A

Carnitine palmitoyl transferase 1

Inhibited by malonyl CoA

162
Q

Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase

A

Step 6 Glycolysis, makes 1,3-BPG
NAD+ –> NADH
Thioester intermediate!
NOT FBI by ATP!

163
Q

What type of reaction does PDH Complex catalyze?

A

Oxidative decarboxylation

Pyruvate –> CO2 + Acetyl CoA

164
Q

Citrate synthase binding, be specific

A

Independently is NOT equal to “induced fit”
ORDERED BINDING..
Also FBI by Citrate!

165
Q

Pantothenic Acid is a coenzyme for

A

Acyl Carrier Protein in FAS

166
Q

What drives condensation reactions in Lipogenesis?

A

Decarboxylation, not NADPH

167
Q

Fatty acids produced from ______ end to _______ end

A

Omega (reducing) to Carboxylic acid end (non-reducing)
