Q

What is inputed into each step of TG synthesis?

A

FA’s (except step 4: H20 inputed)

17
Q

What is the rate limiting enzyme of TG Synthesis?

A

GPAT

18
Q

What are some substate sources of allosteric activation of TG Synthesis?

A

High G3P
High FA Acel CoA
High DGAT

19
Q

Insulin and ____ act to de-phosphoralate enzymes to make them active and subsequently regulate TG Synthesis?

A

CPT-1

20
Q

PKA phosphorylates what to do what to TG Synthesis?

A

DGAT (renders enzyme inactive) > preventing TG Synthesis

21
Q

PKA phosphorylates what to activate Lipolysis?

A

HSL

22
Q

To much of what = no fat breakdown?

A

ATP

23
Q

Insulin has what effect on Lipolysis?

A

Turns it off so it can make TG’s for storage.
