23
Q

where is CAT located

A

on the inner mitochondrial membrane

24
Q
  1. beta oxidation: occurs in
A

mitochondrial matrix

25
Q
  1. beta oxidation: action
A

removes 2 carbon atoms at a time to form acetyl-CoA, NADH+H, and FADH2 units from the activated FA

26
Q

the last pair of carbons makes what

A

just acetyl CoA

27
Q
  1. mitochondrial oxidation: steps
A
  • acetyl CoA units enter krebs cycle
  • NADH+H and FADH2 enter the ETC
28
Q

fat breakdown is directly associated with

A

O2 uptake

29
Q

what must be available to accept electrons in ETC

A

O2

30
Q

number of acetyl CoA =

A

of carbons / 2

31
Q

number of NADH+H and FADH2 =

A

(# of carbons/2) - 1

32
Q

rate limiting enzyme for mobilization of FFA

A

HSL

33
Q

strength of HSL activation is dependent upon

A

intensity & duration of exercise, fitness level, & time since last food consumption

34
Q

strongest stimulators of HSL activation

A

catecholamines (inc during exercise)

35
Q

NEP/EP also stimulate breakdown of

A

CHO

36
Q

rate limiting enzyme for fat oxidation in muscle

A

CAT - it controls the amount of FA entering the mitochondria for oxidation

37
Q

how does exercise effect circulating FFA levels

A

inc by 10-20 fold

38
Q

best way to mobilize and use stored fat is to

A

exercise

39
Q

without sufficient ____ to interact with ____ the krebs cycle slows

A

OXA; acetyl-CoA

40
Q

depleting muscle glycogen effect

A

dec muscle max aerobic power output

41
Q

fat burns in

A

the flame of CHO

42
Q

low intensity uses primarily

A

fat

43
Q

high intensity uses primarily

A

CHO

44
Q

as training inc, the crossover point moves in what direction

A

to the right

45
Q

as exercise intensity increase reliance of fat ___ while reliance on CHO ____

A

decreases; increases

46
Q

even though high intensity exercises uses a smaller relative percentage of fat ….

A

you burn more calories, so you most likely burn more fat with higher intensity than you do with lower

47
Q

as exercise duration increases reliance on fat ___ while reliance on CHO ____

A

increases; decreases

48
Q

changes in lipid metabolism are related to ___ ___ rather than exercise intensity

A

exercise volume

49
Q

1st training related change

A

inc # of mitochondria and inc activity of enzymes w/in the mitochondria
- which inc kreb’s, ETC, and beta oxidation enzymes, thus inc oxidation of fat

50
Q

2nd training related change

A

inc fatty acyl-CoA synthesis

51
Q

3rd training related change

A

inc levels of HSL and CAT, which improve cellular availability and transport of FA

52
Q

4th training related change

A

inc TG storage and oxidation within the muscle

53
Q

5th training related change

A

inc FA uptake by the muscle

54
Q

how does training increase FA uptake by the muscle

A

capillary density inc in tissue, thus blood flow inc and better exchange of FA and O2

55
Q

6th training related change

A

improved cardiorespiratory system that enhances O2 delivery to the muscle

56
Q

why is enhancing o2 delivery to the muscle key

A

more oxygen, more quickly means you reach steady rate exercise more quickly and you have less reliance on anaerobic metabolism
- Less lactate production (less pH disruption & less stress on the system)

57
Q

7th training related change

A

all of these changes lead to CHO sparing
- delay in onset of fatigue
- can exercise longer and harder and use more fat compared to pre training
