Lipids in Energy Metabolism - FA & TG Flashcards
Lipid in blood transport
PL & TG: lipoproteins
FA: Bound to plasma proteins
Lipoprotein definition
Spherical lipid droplet containing at least one apoprotein
How are FA stored?
Oil droplets of neutral TG to prevent potential destruction to cell membranes, have high energy density
TG lipoprotein transport issues
Lipases release FA from stored TG
FA transported across membranes
TG resynthesized into TG
TG cycle - Dietary TG (direct step)
Dietary TG –> GI lipase –> FA
TG cycle - liver redistribution to tissues (3 items)
- Endocytoses CMR & releases TG
- Synth TG from FA (from meal glucose)
- Assembly & export of VLDL
Liver & TG
Assembles it into VLDL to be secreted
Only small amount of TG for local use
Adipose & TG
Stores TG in oil droplets for body and releases FA into plasma during fasting for fuel
FA synth from glucose (pathway)
Glucose –> pyruvate –> citrate –> Acetyl CoA – Malonyl CoA –> palmitate –> sat & unsat FA
FA synth from Acetyl CoA (pathway)
Acetyl CoA –> Malonyl CoA –> palmitate –> sat &a unsat FA
ATP Citrate Lyase (ACLY) fx
Citrate –> Acetyl CoA
Acetyl CoA Carboxylase (ACC) fx
Acetyl CoA –> Malonyl CoA
FA synthase fx
Malonyl CoA –> palmitate
Note that NADPH –> NADP at this step
FA synth is upregulated by
insulin
substrate levels
ACC regulation - stimulated by:
Insulin (+)
Citrate (+)
Fructose metabolism
Enters glycolysis after PFK-1 -
Metabolites activate ACC to induce FA synth
TG synth
Glucose –> FA –> acyl CoA
Glycolytic intermed DHAP –> glycerol –> glycerol-3-P
Acyltransferases
Attach an acyl CoA to glycerol-3-P –> TG
VLDL lipoprotein assembly is driven by ______, then immediately _____
Driven by TG, then immediately secreted
HSL definition and action
Hormone sensitive lipase
adipocyte specific lipase releases FAs + glycerol from TG
Fate of FA released from TG
Cellular fuel for muscle and other cells.
Fate of Glycerol from TG
Taken up by liver as substrate for gluconeogenesis
HSL regulation - stimulated by:
Glucagon (+)
Cortisol (+)
EPI (+)
Growth Hormone (GH) (+)
FA B-Oxidation products (2+1 items)
Acyl CoA –> NADH & FADH2
Acyl CoA –> Acetyl CoA
