Metabolism Pathways Flashcards
effect of niacin
best HDL increase, but no evidence of use in treatment.
would rather use exercise, sustained weight loss, alcohol,, stop smoking
Tendinous Xanthomas
Lipid deposits in achilles and extensor tendon of hands
seen with high cholesterol.
Glucocerebroside
sphingolipid
Glycerol P dehydrogenase
converts Dihydroxyacetone phosphate into glycerol Phospate in liver and adipose
Colestipol
bile acid sequestran
Steps in Glycogen synthesis
G6P -(phosphoglucomutase)-> G1P–> UDP Glucose - (glycogen synthase-> Glycogen
Polyolpathway
Aldolase reductase enzyme that converts glucose to sortitol and fructose to muck up the cell
found in lens of eye, periocytes, nerves, kidney
Tx: aldose reductase Inhibitor
Fatty Acid alpha hydroxylase
hydroxylates phytnic acid at alpha C before entering intoo Beta oxidation
SREBP
Steroid Regulatory element binding protein
sequestered in the ER when cholesterol levels are high to inhibit transcription of HMG CoA Reductase in Cholesterol synthesis.
Released from ER when cholesterol levels are low.
Risks of Recombinant insulin
variable absoprtion, does not mimics insulins release into portal vein as from pancreas
polyols
alcohol sugars
sorbitol, mannitol, hydrogenated starches.
don’t get absorbed.
Short acting insulin onset, peak, duration
onset: 30-60 minutes (0 for IV) peak 2 hours duration: 6-8 hours must take 30 minutes prior to eating Route: SQ or IV
Growth hormones
released from anterior pituitary and is reelased by hypoglycemia and stress.
increase lipolysis, and favors using lipids over proteins.
does lowering TG reduce CV death/events?
not yet! still not shown in scientific study
Ratio of TG to cholesterol in lipoproteins
Chylomicrons 10:1
VLDL 5:1
Remnants 1:1
LDL TG
when does glycogenolysis occurs
4 hours after meal
3- Hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase
form 3-hydrozybutyrate from acetoacetate.
FDA approved use of Omega 3 FA
TG >500
What energy source is used for Cholesterol synthesis
NADPH and ATP
Detemir (levemir)
long acting insulin - extra FA chain so binds to albumin to have slower peripheral distribtuion
12-20 hours duration
How does a small H+ gradient play out?
Increase respiration due to increased Oxygen consumption
HIgh intesnsity statins
Atorvostatin, Resuvastatin
Mixed Function oxidase
adds double bonds to Palmitic acid to make unsaturated
what is produced from TCA cycle
3 NADH, 1 FADH2, GTP
