Q

What does clofibrate do to p450s?

A
  • peroxisome proliferator, CYP4A1 induced
17
Q

What p450 is induced by Aromatic Hydrocarbons?

A

CYP2E1

18
Q

What CYP is induced by Alcohol?

A

CYP2E

19
Q

How would you monitor CYP activity in someone?

A
  • measure the amount of byproduct being excreted as a result of the CYP doing detoxification
20
Q

Where is CYP3A4 found and what does it do?

A

Found in liver, detoxifies ~120 drugs

*NOT prone to polymorphisms

21
Q

What does CYP2A6 do?

A

detoxifies 1/4 of the drugs we take in

*PRONE to polymorphisms

22
Q

What p450 works on cholesterol biosynthesis?

A

CYP51

23
Q

T or F: triazole affects mostly CYP51 in fungi but it also acts on human CYP3A4 to an extent.

A

True

24
Q

Does glucagon affect muscle and fat?

If so How?

A
  • ONLY affects fat

- Turns on HORMONE SENSITIVE LIPASE

25
Q

When you run out of glycogen what is the next source for gluconeogensis?

A

AMINO acids from protein breakdown

26
Q

What enzymes are present in the liver that allow it to make ketone bodies?

A

HMG CoA synthase

HMG lyase

27
Q

What enzyme is lacking in the liver that prevents it from doing ketone body synthesis?

A

Succinyl CoA - AOA CoA transferase

28
Q

Why does high NADH keep cause shunting of Acetyl CoA to ketone body synthesis?

A
  • High NADH leads to OAA getting converted to malate via malate dehydrogenase
  • without OAA to react with Acetyl CoA is transferred to Ketone body production
29
Q

What is responsible for aiding in the addition of ApoE and ApoCII to the nascent chylomicron

A

HDLs

30
Q

What are the 3 fates of FACoA?

A

Energy - beta oxidation and ketogenesis
Membrane lipid formation - phospholipids and sphingolipids
Storage- TAGs

31
Q

What are the 4 steps in fatty acid oxidation and what enzymes catalyze these reactions?

A
  1. oxidation: FACoA dehydrogenase
  2. Hydration: Fatty enoyl CoA Hydratase
  3. oxidaiton: ß-hydroxy acyl CoA dehydrogenase
  4. Cleavage: ß-ketoacyl thiolase

**Think about whats happening…

32
Q

What enzyme is involved anytime there is a double bond that needs to be fixed so ß-oxidation can proceed?

A

enoyl CoA isomerase

33
Q

For conjugated double bonds what enzymes are needed to allow ß-oxidation to proceed?

A

2,4 dienoyl CoA Reductase - REQUIRES NADPH

enoyl CoA isomerase to move the bond back between alpha and beta

34
Q

What reaction allows for oxidation of odd chain and branch chain fatty acid oxidation?

A

Propionyl CoA carboxylase

  • Adds HCO3- using ATP energy
  • Has biotin as a cofactor

***Note succinyl CoA mutase actually ends up making the succinate

35
Q

What does the presence of dicarboxylic acids in the urine indicate?

A
  • Omega oxidation is taking place

- MCFA’s are building up (most likely there is an associated pathology)

36
Q

What enzyme turns pyruvate to OAA?

A

Pyruvate carboxylase

37
Q

What are the 4 regulators of acetyl CoA carboxylase?

A
  1. Insulin (+)
  2. Citrate (+)
  3. Palmitoyl CoA (-)
  4. AMP-activated PK (-)
38
Q

Where are FAs sent in order to get longer?

A

ER
