FOM Week 3 Flashcards
Explain the Effects of Buspirone and Erythromyosin When Taken Together
Both of the drugs get metabolized by the same enzyme, CYP3A4, in the liver. These two act as competitive inhibitors to each other thus slowing down the metabolism of them and causing side effects
Pharmocodynamic Interactions
The capability of one drug to affect another drugs response directly
Can be beneficial or harmful
What is the main form of lipids in our diet
Even carbon triglycerols
Two Essential FAs of Human Diet
Omega 3 and Omega 6
Where are lipids stored in the body
White adipose tissue
Liver
Where in the cell does beta oxidation occur
The matrix of mitochondria
What is the activating step of beta oxidation
The fatty acid gets converted into fatty acyl CoA
This turns ATP into AMP
Occurs in the cytosol of cell
How does fatty acyl CoA cross the inner membrane of mitochondria
It uses the Carnitine Transport Protein
Explain how malonyl CoA regulates beta oxidation
Malonyl CoA is produced by glucose metabolism in lipogenesis. This inhibits the carnitine transferase so no FAs are metabolized
When you are using glucose to make lipids there is no need to metabolize FA (occurs after consuming lots of sugar)
Explain what happens when you eat lots of fatty acids
Acyl CoA inhibits lipogenesis of from glucose occuring
If you just consumed lots of lipids, you dont want to be making them
Explain the oxidation of even saturated FAs
1) Activate them by turning them to acyl CoA
2) Oxidize and create FADH2
3) Hydrolyze
4) Oxidize to create NADH
5) Cleave using CoASH to create acetyl CoA and a 2C shorter acyl CoA
Explain the difference of beta oxidation in unsaturated fatty acids
Since there is already a double bond present you skip the first oxidizing step so no FADH2 is created
Explain the difference of beta oxidation in uneven fatty acids
Proponiol CoA is formed instead of acetyl CoA and then converted into succinyl CoA
Ketonegenesis vs Ketogenolysis
Occurs in the liver
Occurs in the muscle and brain during starvation
Byproduct is acetone which leads to ketoacidosis
Cartilage consists of
Chondrocytes
Matrix (ground substance + fibers)
How does cartilage get nutrition and oxygen
Through diffusion
It lacks blood vessels
Characteristics of Bone
It has a hard compact outside
It has a soft spongy inside
On the inside there are lots of neurons and vessels
It is constantly being remodeled
Diaphysis vs Metaphysis vs Epiphysis
Diaphysis is the long shaft bone
Metaphysis is near the edge of the bone
Epiphysis is the edge of the bone where it rounds
Types of Cells in the Bone
Osteoprogenitor cells- create osteoblasts
Osteoblasts- synthesis collagen type 1 and alkaline phosphotase
Osteoctyes- Osteoblasts that are surrounded by calcium
Osteoclasts- giant multinucleated cells derived from monocytes that have a ruffled border. They secrete acid to resorb bone
Osteiod
Only type 1 collagen and proteoglycans
They are unmatured and uncalcified
ARF Cycle
They cycle bone goes through once it gets damaged Activation Resorbtion Reversal Formation
Effects of PTH
It works to increase Ca in the blood
Binds to osteoblasts which will then secrete RANK-L. This will then bind to RANK on the osteoclasts and activate them which results in calcium being released
Denosumab and Osteoprotegerin
They both bind to RANK-L to prevent osteoclasts from binding to it and therefore prevent its activation
Biphosphonates
Used to treat osteoperosis
Work by causing the osteoclasts to undergo apoptosis
3 Types of Cartilage
Hyaline- smooth and made up of collagen type 2. Found in the bone
Elastic- has elastic fibers that make it not smooth. Made up of collagen type 2 and found in ear and larynx
Fibrocartilage- made up of collagen type 1 and 2. Found in the vertebrae disks
Where does substrate from the TCA cycle come from
Acetyl CoA from glycolytic pyruvate
Acetly CoA from beta oxidation
Succinyl CoA from beta oxidation
Amino acid catabolism
How does pyruvate get into the mitochondria
It freely passes the outer membrane but gets into the matrix from a carboxylic acid transporter in the inner membrane
Ways to Generate Oxaloacetate if None is Present
PEP
Pyruvate
Malate can all be used to make oxaloacete
TCA will not occur unless oxaloacetate is present
Function of Thiamine
Cleaves C-C bonds
Function of Riboflavin
Involved in redox rxns of FAD
Function of Niacin
Involved in redox rxns of NAD
Products of the TCA Cycle
CO2
NADH and FADH2 for the ETC
Explain How Cytosol NADH Enter Matix
Malate aspartate shuttle–> NADH
Glycerophosphate shuttle–> FADH2
Effects of Azide and CO on ETC
They bind to heme group and prevent oxygen from getting to tissues. Since oxygen is the final electron acceptor the ETC would stop and this would cause a build up of lactate
Delta G Naught vs Delta G
G naught is when the rxn is in equilibrium (G=0)
G is a snapshot of the rxn and must be negative for a rxn to occur
