Q

How much ATP is generated when one acetate enters the CAC

A

Generate 12, but -2 when acetate is converted to acetyl-CoA so = 10

Q

How does fatty acid metabolism generate ATP

A

Beta-oxidation of C-C

18
Q

Beta-oxidation of palmitate to 8 acetyl CoA generates how much ATP? These acetyl CoA enter the CAC to generate how many?

A

35 ATP
96 ATP from CAC

19
Q

How much ATP is generated by beta-oxidation of palmitate (16C)? Net?

A

131 ATP
but 2 ATP required
= 129 ATP/palmitate

20
Q

How are non-esterified fatty acids mobilized from adipose tissue

A

Hormone-sensitize lipase stimulates their release
Bound to albumin, circulates in blood
Taken up by liver

21
Q

What happens to NEFAs in the liver

A

Re-esterified and stored as triglycerides
Incorporated into lipoprotein (VLDL)
Beta-oxidation to make acetyl CoA

22
Q

Two methods of beta-oxidation of NEFAs in the liver

A

Complete oxidation (used as an E source)
Incomplete oxidation (pre-digestion of fatty acids): synthesize ketone bodies (B-hydroxybutyrate, acetone)

23
Q

Characteristics of ketone bodies

A

Water soluble
Decrease lipolysis rate
Normal fuel in muscles

24
Q

In order to utilize ketone bodies (acetoacetate) by making them into acetyl CoA, what needs to occur

A

They cannot be in the liver, need to go to other tissues

25
Conversion of acetoacetate to acetyl CoA
Acetoacetate -> acetoacetyl CoA -> 2 Acetyl CoA
26
Slides 19, 20
Utilization of ketone bodies
27
What is ketosis
Negative energy balance generated in a post absorptive state, particularly starvation from mobilized fatty acids Mobilized f.a. go to liver, undergo incomplete b-oxidation into ketones, circulate in body Liver has limited capacity to oxidize f.a.
28
What else can enter the kreb's cycle?
Amino acids, enter into different parts of the cycle based on their structure
29
Glucogenic vs ketogenic aa
Glucogenic enter kreb's cycle to make ATP Ketogenic enter the process of generating ketones, become Acetyl CoA or acetoacetyl CoA
30
What are bomb calorimeters used for
Know how much energy we get out of a diet
31
What is metabolizable energy
Digestible energy - energy in urine and gas
32
What is digestible energy
Gross energy - energy in feces
33
Slide 26
Summary
34
What is direct calorimetry
Direct measurement of heat: feed energy - fecal energy - urinary energy
35
What is indirect calorimetry?
Based on biochemical principles and known combustion values (e.g. glucose + O2 -> CO2 + H2O at a different proportion than fat)
36
Measurements of indirect calorimetry
CO2 produced O2 consumed Respiratory quotient (RQ = CO2/O2) Urinary N (protein oxidation)
37
Reaction of glucose to gasses when completely combusted
C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O + 672 Kcal
38
RQ of glucose completely combusted
6CO2 produced / 6O2 consumed = 1
39
How much energy per L of O2 consumed if only glucose is oxidized in the body
5.0 Kcal/L
