Q

State process of Fatty Acid export?

A

1) Apoprotein B (ApoB) synthesised in rough ER
2) Lipid components (TG, Cholesterol esters) synthesised in smooth
ER
3) Microsomal TAG transfer protein adds lipid components to ApoB
4) Transported in vesicle to Golgi
5) ApoB is glycosylated
6) Glycosylated Apo’s with lipid components bud off golgi
7) Migrate to sinusoidal membrane of hepatocyte
8) Vesicles fuse with the membranes and VLDL is releasd

17
Q

Where do lipids flow into liver from? (3)

A

1) Portal vein
2) Heptatic artery
3) Lymphatics

18
Q

In what form are lipids transported to liver? (4)

A

1) Triglycerides
2) Lipoproteins
3) Chlyomicron remnants
4) HDLs
5) FA bound albumin

19
Q

How are lipids uptaken into adipocyes?

A

Triglycerides can’t diffuse through cell membrane
1) Lipoprotein lipase breaks down triglycerides
2) Release free fatty acids
3) Fatty acids are lipophilic so diffuse through bilayer
4) Facilitated transport into the cells

20
Q

What are the 3 transport systems for fa into liver? (3)

A

1) Fatty acid binding protein (mitochondrial AST)
2) Fatty acid translocase (FAT)
3) Fatty acid transport polypeptide (FATP)

21
Q

Can triglycerides diffuse through membrane?
If not what can?

A

No
FFA can

22
Q

What enzyme breaks down triglycerides

A

Lipoprotein lipase

23
Q

What occurs do FA in adipocytes?

A

Re-esterified to triglycerides
Stored

24
Q

Where does FA move after adipocytes?

A

Hepatocytes

25
Q

Explain process movement from adipocytes to hepatocytes?

A

1) Sensitive lipase releases FFA
2) Hepatic lipase enables uptake FFA into hepatocytes

26
Q

What hormone releases FFA from adipocytes?

A

Hormone Sensitive lipase

27
Q

What enzyme enables uptake of FFA into hepatocytes?

A

Hepatic lipase

28
Q

In what form are lipids released from liver?

A

VLDLs

29
Q

How is energy released?

A

Oxidation

30
Q

Is demand or storage greater for lipds?

A

Storage

31
Q

List 3 functions of insulin?

A

Promotes fat storage in adipocytes
Stimulates lipoprotein lipase (break TG allow FA diffuse)
Reduces the activity of HSL (release FFA from adipo)

32
Q

Explain process insulin resistance?

A

1) Increased lipolysis– more circulating triglycerides
2) More free fatty acids for hepatocytes to take up
3) Increased glucose level means lipids are less used as an energy source

33
Q

How is the liver protected from large fatty acid influx?

A

Chylomicrons can bypass the liver
Transported in lymphatic system

34
Q

Draw process fat moving inti adipocyte and into hepatocyte?

A
35
Q

What function of glucagon?

A

1) Stimulate liver break down glycogen- released in blood as glucose
2) Activate gluconeogenesis- conversion of aa into glucose
3) Break down stored triglycerides into FA

36
Q

What cells secrete glucagon?

A

Alpha cells of pancreas

37
Q

What cells secrete insulin?

A

Pancreatic beta cells

38
Q

Hypoglycemia results in…..g and i?

A

Alpha cells release glucagon
Beta cells prod insulin inhibit

39
Q

Hyperglycemia results in….g and i?

A

Inhibits glucagon secretion
Stimulate beta cells prod insulin

40
Q

Effect on blood sugar: glucagon and insulin

A

Glucagon- increases blood suger lvl
Insulin- decrease blood sugar lvl
