Oxidation Of FA Flashcards
What is the site of b oxidation of fatty acids
What is the timing of b oxidation of FA
Fasting state
What are the 3 main phases of b oxidation of FA
Explain the activation of fatty acids
What is the importance of transport of long chin acylCoA (carnitine shuttle)
What are the components of transport of long chain AcylCoA (carnitine shuttle)
Explain the steps of carnitine shuttle
What is the aim of cycling reactions
Explain the steps of cycling reactions
What is the total amount of ATP from the cycling reactions
17 ATP
What is the function of malonyl CoA
Allosteric inhibitor of CAT1
What is the equations of the regulation step of b oxidation
What is the mechanism of regulation
Short term allosteric regulation (inhibition)
Explain the regulation in fasting and fed state
Why FA oxidation not active with FA synthesis at the same time?
Because when FA synthesis is active we have malonylCoA that stops FA oxidation.
What are the other types of FA oxidation
Compare between b oxidation of odd number of FA and B oxidation of even number of FA
Compare between b oxidation of unsaturated FA and B oxidation of saturated FA
Importance of both is energy production
In oxidation of saturated FA FADH2 is produced to form 2 ATP while in the oxidation of unsaturated FA this step is canceled, so less energy for the unsaturated FA
Compare between omega oxidation and b oxidation
Compare between alpha oxidation and b oxidation
Compare between peroxisomal oxidation and b oxidation
