28
What are the products and substrates of the glutamate dehydrogenase rxn?
Glutamate --> alpha-keto acid + NH3
29
Where do the two nitrogens come from in the molecule of urea?
*Aspartate *free NH4+ from glutamate
30
Which enzyme catalyzes the rate limiting step in the urea cycle?
Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I (CPSI)
31
Where do the first two rxns of the urea cycle take place?
mitochondria
32
What is the name of the cofactor that is needed for activation of the CPSI?
N-acetylglutamate
33
Why is hyperammonemia deadly?
the increase in ammonia will deprive alpha ketoglutarate from the TCA cycle
34
Ketogenic AAs
Leucine, Lysine; can be metabolized to produce acetyl-CoA and acetoacetyl-CoA which are precursors to ketone bodies
35
Which AAs are both ketogenic and gluceogenic?
Phenylalanine, Isoleucine, Tyrosine, Tryptophan
36
What are the products of metabolism of glucogenic AAs?
fumarate, succinyl-CoA, oxaloacetate, alpha ketoglutarate, pyruvate
37
Which AAs enter TCA cycle as oxaloacetate?
Asparagine, Aspartate
38
Which enzyme is deficient in disease phenylketonuria?
phenylalanine hydroxylase; high [Phe] causes mousey odor, hypopigmentation, and CNS symptoms
39
Which enzyme is deficient in disease alkaptonuria?
homogenic acid oxidase; homogenic acid can be present in the urine which causes it to turn black one it touches air (oxidized)
40
Which enzyme is deficient in disease classic homocystinuria?
cystathionine synthase; causes high [met] and [Hcy] which can have symptoms of brittle bones and eye issues
41
Which enzyme is deficient in disease maple syrup urine disease?
alpha keto acid dehydrogenase
42

46
What is the range for muscle grading score?
0-5
47
What is the grading response for a reflex with clonus?
4+ (scale is 0-4+)
48
Hyperkalemia will ____ the resting membrane potential.
raise (make more positive)
