Q

From which part of the mitochondria do NAD and FAD get pumped from and where are they pumped to?

A

During electron transport, H+ are taken up and accumulate in the intermembrane. Once the concentration of H+ is greater than the mitochondria matrix the are pumped from the intermembrane to the mitochondrial matrix.

Q

De novo synthesis of fatty acids in the fat cell starts with acetyl-CoA. Contrast the steer and market hog above in how the fat cell gets the acetyl-CoA.

A
  • Ruminants (cow)
    • ferment dietary glucose to VFA, principally acetate
      • derived acetate is converted to acetyl-CoA in cytosol of fat cells which can directly enter fatty acid biosynthesis
  • pig-
    • absorb their glucose
    • glycolysis produces pyruvate in cytosol; the acetyl-CoA is generated in the mitochondrea
    • acetyl Co-A in mitochondria then shuttled out to form citrate

Q

Now that the fat acids from the diet and from de novo synthesis are stored in the fat cells as TAG, they are available for the animal to use in the event of feed restriction and fasting. Moving the fatty acids out of the fat cell is referred to as “mobilization of fatty acids” and involves more lipases. What are the three lipases involved in this process that occurs in the fat cell?

A
  1. Mobilization of FA lipases:
    1. Adipose Triglyceride Lipase
    2. Hormone-Sensitive Lipase
    3. MAG Lipase

Q

How does diabetes affect metabolism in liver cell

A

Insulin decreases.

Nutrient availability is high, but cells cannot respond without insulin.

Liver cell:

  1. Gluconeogenesis increases: blood glucose increases.
  2. B-oxidation increases.
  3. Ketone production increases (50-100 fold).
  4. Blood pH decreases: ketoacidosis occurs.

Q

This TAG transport lipoprotein you identified above will be transported through the blood stream to sites such as fat cells, muscle cells, and other cells. In fat cells an enzyme is synthesized and secreted to the outside of the cell where it is anchored to the cell. This enzyme catalyze hydrolysis of TAG from circulation so that the fatty acids can be transported into the cell. Which enzyme is this?

A
  • Lipoprotein lipase:
    • made by the particular cell, and secreted where it anchors itself just outside the cell.
    • When chylomicrons, or other circulating triaglycerols arrive at the cell, lipoprotein lipase catalyzes hydrolysis of fatty acids, which are taken up by the cell

Q

How can lactation in over-finished dairy cows result in similar conditions to diabetes?

A

Lactation hormone cause reduced fat deposition in fat tissue

Increased fatty acid mobilization from fat cells -> Stimulate lipolysis so much more fatty acid released compared to good body condition cow, hits liver and liver can’t deal with that level of fatty acids = continued oxidation and accumulation causes ketoacidosis

Nutrient and body energy stored support the mammary gland need for milk production (fatty acids)

Over-condition (fat) dairy cows have problems

Q

How can multiple fetuses in ovine ewes cause a form of pregnancy toxemia?

A

Ketone production can become excessive if lactation or pregnancy places too many demands on the available glucose -> fatty acid oxidation synthesis increases in response = ketone production increases

Huge draw of blood glucose from ewe when they reach a certain size

The draw maternal glucose blood glucose just drops dramatically, and insulin secretion is stimulated by blood glucose levels = insulin secretion drops

Q

With the above enzyme complex, an acetyl-CoA and the product of the reaction in #9 are bonded and a CO2 is released that will be used to recarboxylate another acetyl-CoA in the #9 reaction.

What is produced in the first step of fatty acid biosynthesis?

A

Change acetyl- CoA and malonyl CoA by replacing the –CoA with acyl- carrier protein (ACP)

87
Q

For ruminants, the microbes reduce lipases so fatty acids and not nearly as much TAG will arrive at the small intestine. These fatty acids will be absorbed by the small intestine and reformed into TAG and the rest is the same as the non-ruminant. The amount of fat on a market steer cannot be accounted for by just the amount of TAG it would have consumed during its lifetime. The same would be expected from a market hog. So, where did the fat come from?

Q

During the cycle, as what molecule will the carbon atoms that originated in Acetyl-CoA end up?

A

CO2

97
Q

Where does fatty acid activation in the cell does it occur?

A

Cytosol (activation), but fatty acid oxidation occurs in the mitochondria

98
Q

What purpose does Malonyl-CoA serve in the muscle cell

A

Malonyl-CoA inhinits transoprt of fatty acids from the cytosol into the mitochondria in the fed animal

99
Q

How many cycles through fatty acid synthase reactions will be needed to produce a fatty acid containing 16 C

A

8

100
Q

After acetate enters the fat cell of a ruminant, in what part of the cell is it converted to acetyl-CoA

A

cytosol

101
Q

When fatty acids are to be mobilized from fat cells which enzyme catalyzes hydrolysis of the second fatty acid from TAG

A

hormone-sensitve lipase

102
Q

Based on the number of hydrogen ions that are pumped in after interaction of FADH2 with the electron transport system, how many ATP can be synthesized

A

2

103
Q

For each complete turn of the fatty acid oxidation cycle, what combination of materials with be formed

A

1 NADH, 1 FADH2, 1 acetyl-CoA

104
Q

What is the purpose of O2 in metabolsim

A

terminal electron acceptor in the electron transport system

105
Q

What molecule does the O2 become a part of at the end of the electron transport system

A

water

106
Q

Which one of the following most accuratly depicts the difference between glycolysis and fatty acid oxidation

A

fatty acid oxidation occurs in the mitochondria and produces only acetyl-CoA, NADH, and FADH2 whereas glycolysis occurs in the cytosol and produces a small amount of ATP and NADH

107
Q

How many ATP will be formed from the complete oxidation of one glucose molecule

A

36

108
Q

Where does fatty acid biosynthesis occur in a ruminant, pig, and chicken

A

Ruminant-pig= fat cells

Chicken= liver
