Block 4 Nishimoto Questions Flashcards
(282 cards)
Zellweger Syndrome
Lack of functional peroxisomes; Can’t Oxidize VLCFA’s
Which steps of Mitochondrial Long-Chain FA Metabolism Occurs in Cytosol?
Fatty acyl CoA Synthetase Activates FA to FattyAcylCoA
Which KB packs “extra punch”
Beta-hydroxybutyrate (NADH)
Where is Fatty Acyl CoA Oxidized in Liver?
Mitochondrial Matrix
Where does Succinyl CoA get its CoA for Ketone Oxidation
CAC Cycle or Oxidation of Odd-Chain or Branched-Chain FA’s
Where does Omega-oxidation occur?
ER, forms Dicarboxylic Acids
Where does maturation of Chylomicrons occur?
Blood, pick up ApoE and ApoCII from HDL
Where does final oxidation of Fatty Acyl CoA occur?
Mitochondrial Matrix
Where are OH Groups of Cholesterol in a Lipoprotein
Surface
When is MC AcylCoA Dehydrogenase deficiency noticed?
When glucose levels are low and FA’s cannot be completely oxidized
When is Gluconeogenesis main source of blood glucose
After ~16 hours
When does muscle use blood glucose
High insulin (fed state) or during exercise
When does muscle primarly use Glycogen?
Severe exersize
When does brain start using KB’s?
Roughly day 3 (Starved State); KB levels in blood aren’t high enough until this day.
When do you need extra ATP in Palmitate synthesis?
When starting with just Acetyl CoA (no Malonyl CoA)
When are Malonyl CoA levels elevated?
Fed State; It’s the substrate for FA Synthesis produced by Acetyl CoA Carboxylase
What size FA’s use Carnitine Cycle for Membrane Transport
Long Chain (12-20)
What size FA’s are catabolized in peroxisome?
Very Long Chain (>20)
What provides the omega-methyl group of palmitate in FA synthesis?
Acetyl CoA
What provides the 2 carbon units that are added to the growing Fatty Acyl chain?
Malonyl CoA
What products of lipid digestion do Intestinal epithelial cells absorb?
FA’s and 2-MG’s
What percent of Bile Salts are excreted?
5
What part of intestinal cell produces TG?
sER
What part of intestinal cell produces apoB-48
rER
