In the last stage of cholesterol formation __ ___ catalyzes the addition of one ___ atom from O2 to the end of squalene, forming an ____. ____ results in the formation of ___ which contains the __ rings characteristic of the steroid nucleus. Several additional reactions add and reposition ___ groups to form cholesterol.

___ ___ __ is the leading cause of death in developed countries. ___ are the most widely used drugs for lowering ___ cholesterol levels. They are ___ ___ of HMG-CoA reductase, resembling the substrate ____. The most widely used statin is _____.
coronary heart disease, statins, serum, competitive inhibitors, mevalonate, atorvastatin
Ketone bodies are produced in the ___ as an alternative fate for acetyl-CoA. ___ is produced in smaller quantities and exhaled. ___ and ______ are transported by blood to extrahepatic tissues. The ____ relies heavily on ketone bodies for fuel because fatty acids cannot cross the BBB
liver, acetone, acetoacetate, D-beta-hydroxybutyrate, brain
The synthesis of ketone bodies occurs in the __ __ of _____. First two molecules of acetyl-CoA condense to form _____. This condenses with another molecule of acetyl-CoA forming ___. This produced is cleaved to free ____ and ____. The latter is ___ reduced to ____ or ____ to acetone
mitochondrial matrix, acetoacetyl-CoA, HMG-CoA, acetyl-CoA, acetoacetate, reversibly, D-beta-hydroxybutyrate, decarboxylated
The breakdown of ketone bodies occurs in the mitochondria in __ ___. First, D-beta-hydroxybutyrate is oxidized to ____. This is then metabolized to ____. This produced is cleaved to 2 molecules of ___ which enters the citric acid cycle
extrahepatic, acetoacetate, acetoacetyl-CoA, acetyl-CoA
___ consumes oxaloacetate and slows citric acid cycle. The slowing of the citric acid cycle promotes __ ___ production. The release of ___ during the formation of acetoacetate enables the continued oxidation of __ ___.
gluconeogenesis, ketone body, CoA, fatty acids
During starvation, gluconeogenesis is __ to provide ___ to tissues such as the brain. This depletes citric acid cycle ___, resulting in ____ producing ketone bodies.
active, glucose, intermediates, acetyl-CoA
In people with diabetes, insufficient ___ prevents glucose uptake from the blood. Low glucose in cells stimulates ___ and ____, which depletes the citric acid cycle intermediates and produces ___ ___. Thus these individuals have a much higher concentration of ___ in the blood and urine.
insulin, beta-oxidation, gluconeogenesis, ketone bodies, acetoacetate
a condition in which the concentration of ketone bodies in the blood, tissues, and urine is abnormally high
ketosis
dietary proteins are degraded to free __ ___ within the gastrointestinal tract. In the stomach, proteins stimulate the secretion of ____, which stimulates the secretion of ____ and _____. The latter is activated by autocatalysis at low _____. Active ___ cleaves polypeptides into peptides
amino acids, gastrin, HCl, pepsinogen, pH, pepsin
Acidic stomach contents enter the small intestine and trigger the secretion of __, which stimulates the secretion of ___ to neutralize HCl. ____ is also secreted to stimulate release of several pancreatic ____ such as ____, ____ __ and ___. Active proteases cleave peptides into a mixture of free amino acids.
secretin, bicarbonate, cholescytokinin, proteases, trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, procarboxypeptidases A, B,
an inactive precursor of an enzyme
zymogen
In the small intestine, the free amino acids such as ___ and ____ are then transported into ___ cells, and transported to the __ via the __
di, tri-peptides, epithelial, liver, blood
the dynamic regulation of a balanced functional proteome
proteostasis
the degradation and resynthesis of proteins
protein turnover
Ubiquitin is a ___ residue protein present in all ____ cells. This tags proteins for ____. The c-terminal ___ forms a ___ bond with ___ residues on target proteins
76, eukaryotic, destruction, glycine, covalent, lysine
First the free ____ group of the c-terminal glycine residue in ubiquitin is bound to an ___ ___ enzyme through a ___ linkage. Then ubiquitin is transferred to an ______ _____ enzyme. An ______ ____ catalyzes transfer of ubiquitin from from E2 to the target protein
carboxyl, E1 activating, thioester, E2 conjugating, E3 ligase
