Notes from lectures Flashcards
chondroitin sulphate production
synth from UDP-galactose, found in cartilage
alanine production where
liver
aspartate production where
liver and muscle
the essential amino acids
M - Methionine (S containing)
LIV - Leucine, isoleusine, valine (branced chain)
HPT - histidine, phenylalanine, tryptophan (aromatic ring)
TL - thyrosine, lysine (no enzyme)
essential amino acids in birds
glycine and arginine too
energy balance of urea cycle
- 1 ATP
regulatory enzyme of urea cycle
carbamoyl phosphate synthetase
decarboxylation of aa
removing -COOH creating amine, using schiff base as co-factor
Dopamine precursor
tyrosine
serotonin precursor
tryptophan
porphorin ring containing (pyrrole subunits)
heme (4 pyrrol rings)
cytochrome, catalase, peroxidase
methemoglobin
-SH (Fe³⁺ bound)
carboxyhemoglobin
co bound
heme binds which amino acid
histamine - Fe²⁺
how to find total bilirubin
diazoreagent
icterus
bilirubin I and/or II elevation
iron tp basolateral side of enterocyte
ferroportin (Fe²⁺)
iron tp in blood
transferin (Fe³⁺)
iron tp apical side of enterocyte
DMT - divalent metal transporter (Fe²⁺)
storage of iron
liver, spleen, bone marrow
piglet anemia
placenta is impermeable to Fe²⁺, increase growth
what are conjugated, methylene interupted
CIS- double bonds
name the 3 omega 3 FAs
linolenic acid -> plant
EPA, DHA -> in fish
prostaglanoids
CLA - conjugated linolenic acid: omega 6
incr. blood clotting and inflammation (opposite of omega 3)
MORE cis vs trans membrane fluidity
cis increase
trans decrease
