1
Q

compare fats and carbs as energy sources

A

fats are very dense and have the capability to be highly reduced and produce nearly twice the amount of energy than carbs per gram; fats store energy for 30 days, carbs 24 hours,

Q

describe keto genesis/ ketone body synthesis

A

occurs only in liver and mitochondria of hepatocytes
acetyl-coa -> (via thiolase) acetocacetyl-CoA -> HMG-GoA -> acetoacetate -> acetone or beta-hydroxybutyrate

beta hydroxybutyrate -> acetoacetate -> acetoacetyl-CoA -> Acetyl coA (which enters CAC)

heart prefers acetoacetate
brain prefers beta hydroxybutyrate bc extra electrons in the oxidation of NAD that is sent to ETC

Q

what happens to ketone bodies during fasting and starvation

A

fatty acids return to the liver during times of low glucose so ketone bodies can be synthesized

low oxaloacetate (due to what is available being converted to glucose for the brain and other tissues that exclusively use glycolysis for energy) prevents the CAC from running so acetyl CoA is put into ketone body synthesis instead

49
Q

describe TAG catabolism

A
