Lipolysis Flashcards
Chief storage form of energy in the body
Tri Acylglycerol
Hydrolysis of storaged TAG in the adipose tissue
Mobilization off fatty acids from TAG stored in the adipose tissue
Lipolysis
End product of lipolysis
Free fatty acids
Glycerol
Product of lipolysis that leads to beta oxidation
Free fatty acids
Location of lipolysis
Cytoplasm
Enzyme in lipolysis
Hormone sensitive Tri Acyl Glycerol Lipase
Hormone sensitive Tri Acyl Glycerol Lipase activated by
Phosphorylation reaction via cAMP dependent protein kinase A
Hormone that inhibits adenyl cyclase ( inhibits lipolysis)
Insulin
Insulin inhibits adenyl cyclase
ATP not converted to cAMP
Insulin stimulates phosphodiesterase
Degrades cAMP to 5 AMP
Product of lipolysis that lead to beta oxidation
Fatty acids
End product of beta oxidation of fatty acids are
Molecules of acetyl coA
Lipolysis pathway
Hormones to adenyl cyclase Adenyl cyclase converts ATP to cAMP Increase cAMP Stimulation of protein kinase A Phosphorylation of lipase Lipase activated Hydrolyze TAG molecules Removes fatty acids from TAG Magiging Di, Mono then eventually become Glycerol and 3 Fatty acids
Stimulate protein kinase A
cAMP
