Q

2: circulation: interaction btwn fat and blood and what this means for circulation of fat within the circulatory system

Q

where is CAT located

Study These Flashcards
A

on the inner mitochondrial membrane

24
Q
  1. beta oxidation: occurs in
Study These Flashcards
A

mitochondrial matrix

25
6. beta oxidation: action
removes 2 carbon atoms at a time to form acetyl-CoA, NADH+H, and FADH2 units from the activated FA
26
the last pair of carbons makes what
just acetyl CoA
27
7. mitochondrial oxidation: steps
- acetyl CoA units enter krebs cycle - NADH+H and FADH2 enter the ETC
28
fat breakdown is directly associated with
O2 uptake
29
what must be available to accept electrons in ETC
O2
30
number of acetyl CoA =
# of carbons / 2
31
number of NADH+H and FADH2 =
(# of carbons/2) - 1
32
rate limiting enzyme for mobilization of FFA
HSL
33
strength of HSL activation is dependent upon
intensity & duration of exercise, fitness level, & time since last food consumption
34
strongest stimulators of HSL activation
catecholamines (inc during exercise)
35
NEP/EP also stimulate breakdown of
CHO
36
rate limiting enzyme for fat oxidation in muscle
CAT - it controls the amount of FA entering the mitochondria for oxidation
37
how does exercise effect circulating FFA levels
inc by 10-20 fold
38
best way to mobilize and use stored fat is to
exercise
39
without sufficient ____ to interact with ____ the krebs cycle slows
OXA; acetyl-CoA
40
depleting muscle glycogen effect
dec muscle max aerobic power output
41
fat burns in
the flame of CHO
42
low intensity uses primarily
fat
43
high intensity uses primarily
CHO
44
as training inc, the crossover point moves in what direction
to the right
45
as exercise intensity increase reliance of fat ___ while reliance on CHO ____
decreases; increases
46
even though high intensity exercises uses a smaller relative percentage of fat ....
you burn more calories, so you most likely burn more fat with higher intensity than you do with lower
47
as exercise duration increases reliance on fat ___ while reliance on CHO ____
increases; decreases
48
changes in lipid metabolism are related to ___ ___ rather than exercise intensity
exercise volume
49
1st training related change
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
2nd training related change
inc fatty acyl-CoA synthesis
51
3rd training related change
inc levels of HSL and CAT, which improve cellular availability and transport of FA
52
4th training related change
inc TG storage and oxidation within the muscle
53
5th training related change
inc FA uptake by the muscle
54
how does training increase FA uptake by the muscle
capillary density inc in tissue, thus blood flow inc and better exchange of FA and O2
55
6th training related change
improved cardiorespiratory system that enhances O2 delivery to the muscle
56
why is enhancing o2 delivery to the muscle key
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
7th training related change
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
