Q

In cushings disease there is excess glucocorticoid which leads to what?

Q

Which nervous system ensure release of TAG during stress?

A

Sympathetic

23
Q

Albumin bound FA have a high turnover time in plasma of how long?

A

3 minutes

24
Q

What happens to glycerol in liver?

A

Go into glucose synthesis

25
Q

Intestine and liver release _____ which adipocytes can’t.

A

lipoproteins

adipocytes can only release FFA (unesterified)

26
Q

What 3 components of the body can not oxidize FA

A

Brain
Erythrocytes
Neurons

27
Q

Beta oxidation metabolizes what type of Fats?

A

Saturated

28
Q

To be oxidized Short FA must have what?

A

Even number carbon chain

Chain length of 18-20

if not they need additional enzymatic reaction

29
Q

WHere does beta oxidation occur?

A

Mitochondrial matrix

30
Q

DUring beta oxidation what happens to Acyl-CoA FA

A

2 carbon atoms must be removed to make acetyl-CoA, NADH, and FADH2

31
Q

What must occur for a FA with less than 14 carbons to diffuse into mitochondria

A

must be protonated

32
Q

What carries LCFA from cytosol into mitochondrial matrix?

A

Carnitine through a carnitine shuttle

33
Q

First step of transferring a LCFA into mitochondrial matrix

A

Acyl FA group is transferred to the OH group of carnitine forming acyl carnitine

34
Q

What transfer the AcylFA group to the OH group of carnitine?

A

Carnitine-Palmitoyl transferase
or
CAT

35
Q

Carnitine Palmitoyl transferase has 2 forms. Explain them

A

CPT1 is the outer membrane

CPT2 is the inner membrane

36
Q

What crosses mitochondria membrane via carnitine shuttle?

A

Acyl-Carnitine and Carnitine via diffusion using Carnitine acylcarnitine translocase

37
Q

What enzyme helps transfer Acyl Carnitine and Carnitine across mitochondrial membrane

A

Carnitine-Acylcarnitine

Translocase

38
Q

Once the Carnitine-AcylCarnitine gets across mitochondrial membrane what happens?

A

Carnitine Palmitoyl Transferase 2 catalyzes the carnitine group and adds Coenzyme A back

39
Q

Does SCFA or MCFA need carnitine?

A

No they can diffuse passively where they are acylated

40
Q

What inhibits CPT1 from transferring LCFA into mitochondria?

A

Malonyl CoA

41
Q

WHen Malony CoA inhibits CPT1, LCFA can’t get into mitochondria because what?

A

FA synthesis is occuring in cytosol and the new palmitate can not enter either

42
Q

Where does carnitine come from?

A

Diet or liver and kidney make them out of lysine and methionine

43
Q

Can heart and skseletal muscle make carnitine?

A

No

44
Q

Where is carnitine stored?

A

Skeletal muscle

45
Q

Carnitine removes what?

A

Branch chain acyl group that are made when BCAA are catabolized for energy

46
Q

What happens to acyl groups the body can not catabolize?

A

trapped and excreted at renal level by carnitine

47
Q

Deficiency of carnitine can lead to what?

A

InAbility of tissue to use LCFA as a source of energy

Build up of Branch Chain Acyl Groups and FFA in tissuess

48
Q

What causes carnitine deficiency?

A

Liver failure
Malnutrition
Strict Diet
Increase need due to infection, burns, pregnancy, hemodialysis.

Congenital deficiency; where tubular reabsorption of carnitine is bad, or cellular uptake of carnitine is bad

49
Q

What does hemodialysis lead to?

A

Extracting carnitine from the blood

50
Q

CPT1 deficiency can lead to what?

A

Impair liver tissue ability to make glucose in fasting state

51
Q

CPT1 deficiency impair liver tissue ability to make glucose in fasting state leading to what?

A

Hypoglycermia or Death

52
Q

CPT 2 deficiency occurs mainly where?

A

Cardiac and skeletal muscles

53
Q

When CPT2 is deficient what occurs?

A

Cardiomyopathy
muscle weakness
myoglobinemia

54
Q

How do you treat carnitine deficiency?

A 
High Carb diet,
Low LCFA diet
Supplement MCFA
avoid fasting
Supplement carnitine
