21
Q

Precursor to vit A

22
Q

Precursor to tyrosine

A

Phenylalanine

23
Q

Precursor of NO, urea, Ornithine and agmatine

A

Arginine

also needed to make creatine

24
Q

Precursor of pyrimidine

A

Orotic Acid

25
Q

What conditions promote sickling?

A

Deoxygenated state
low pH
HIGH 2,3PDG

26
Q

Decreased 2,3 DPG

A

increased affinity of Hb for O2> uptake of O2 by Hb

need increased to release to tissues

27
Q

What uses the gycerol produced by degradation of TG by hormone sensitive lipase?

A

Liver

> TG synthesis, gluconeogensis, intm in glycolysis

28
Q

What liver specific enzyme faciliates the use of TG breakdown products as intermediates in energy generation and glucose synthesis?

A

Glycerol kinase

29
Q

What must happen to FA in order to undergo beta oxidation in the mitochondria?

A

Fatty acyl-CoA synthetase activates FA to Acyl CoA in hte CYTOPLASM.

Fatty acyl combines w/ carnitine to be shuttled into the mitochondria

30
Q

What is the first enzyme in the HMP shunt?

A

G6PD

produces NADPH and pentose sugars for nucleotide synthesis

31
Q

Converts acetyl CoA to malonly CoA, catalyzing the first committed step in FA synthesis

A

Acetyl CoA carboxylase (Biotin Depndent!)

32
Q

Location of FA synthesis

33
Q

Location of FA oxidation

A

mitochondria

34
Q

mRNA Stop codons

A

U Go Away
U Are Away
U Are Gone

35
Q

What codon initiates protein synthesis?

36
Q

Translation of the mRNA template goes in what direction?

A

5’ to 3’

37
Q

When do H dissociated from AA?

A

When pH exceeds the pKA associated w/ the given H

38
Q

Act on the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus to inhibit production of neuropeptide Y (decreasing apetiatie and stimulate production of alpha MSH (increasing satiety)

39
Q

Phylalanine to tyrosine

A

Phpyenylalanine hydroxylase (BH4) (PKU)

40
Q

Tyrosine to DOPA

A

Tyrosine hydroxylase (BH4)

41
Q

Dopa to Dopamine

A

DOPA carboxylase (B6)

42
Q

Dopamine to NE

A

Dopamine Hydroxylase (Vit C)

43
Q

NE to Epi

A

PNMT (Sam)

44
Q

What stimulates the conversion of NE to epi?

45
Q

Where are NE and Dopamine produced?

A

CNS and PNS

46
Q

Where is epi produced?

A

Adrenal glands (medulla)
