Which fats are healthiest
Monounsaturated.
Monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat are ‘healthy’ fats.
Cis fats are typically considered better for the body than trans fats.
What does saturated fat lead to?
higher levels of cholesterol
The endocrine and exocrine system of the pancrease
Endocrine: secrete hormones such as glucagon and insulin
Exocrine: to digest food; amylase. lipase. protease
Oleic acid
C18:1 delta 9
Palmitic acid
C16:0
How does the oxidation of FA compare to that of glucose oxidation
106 molecules. vs 32 (liver), 30 for muscle cell
Where are ketone bodies synthesized>
In the liver mitochondira
What is the site of beta oxidation
in the mitochondria
What is the site of fatty acid syntehsis
cytoplasm
How do hormones regulate ACC1?
- Glucagon and epinephrine: inactivate ACC1 through AMP.
induce the mobilization of fatty acids to break down - INsulin: activates ACC1, also provide glucose -> acetyl coA for fatty acid syntehsis
How does insulin stimulate fatty acid synthesis?
By increasing glucose uptake -> activating the PDH -> make acetyl coA and stimutaling ATP-citrate lyase , and activating ACC1 (by dephosphorylation)
Which tissues use ketone bodies for energy
muscle, brain, heart, kidney
