Q

Does hormone sensitive lipase like to be phosphorylated?

(Is it activated or deactivated by phosphorylation?)

A

Q

Besides creating them de novo, where do adipocytes get free fatty acids?

A

From VLDLs from the liver, and chylomicrons from the intestines.

Q

Why does an increase in excess glucose make you fat?

A

Because in the liver, glucose is converted into glycerol 3-P and fatty acids, then put together to make triacylglycerols that are shipped to adipocytes.

17
Q

What is the function of ApoC-II?

A

Activates Capillary lipoprotein lipase

18
Q

What is the function of ApoE?

A

Assits with uptake into the liver

19
Q

What is the function of ApoA-I?

A

Activates an enzyme that turns cholesterol into cholesterol ester.

20
Q

What lipoprotein helps with the maturation of chylomicrons?

A

HDL

21
Q

What enzyme converts cholesterol into cholesterol ester for HDL?

A

Lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase

22
Q

What is the basic pathology of Type 1 Hyerlipoproteinemia?

A

There is an increase in the number of chylomicrons in the blood due to an inability to process TAGs. This can be due to either a defect in capillary lipoprotein lipase, or in ApoC-II which activates it.
