fa synthesis occurs where?
liver and adipose
humans can synthesize what kind of fa?
sat and some unsat
fa synthesis main precursor?
acetyl-CoA
any substance (mainly CHO) that can be taken into acetyl-CoA can be?
stored as a fa
lipogenic
substance taken to acetyl-CoA and stored as a fa to be used as fuel
3 fs synthesis systems
cytoplasmic, mitochondrial, microsomal
cytoplasmic is?
major pathway
mitochondrial sys is used for?
longer fa
microsomal sys is located?
ER
microsomal sys is where _______ is made?
unsaturated fa
common cytoplasmic fa
palmitic 16C
palmitic : Overall
acetyl-CoA + 7malonyl-Coa +14NADPH+ 14H > fa synthase complex> 7CO2 + 8CoA + 6 H2O + 14 NADP
NADPH + H comes from?
pentose shunt
malonyl CoA formation
acetyl-Coa + HCO3- {acetyl-Coa carboxylase} malonyl-CoA
enzyme used in malyonl-CoA rxn
acetyl-CoA carboxylase
what activates acetyl-CoA carboxylase
Citrate
what does high CHO do to citrate
increase citrate and fa synthesis
what does low CHO do to citrate
decrease citrate and produce ketones (liver)
acetyl-CoA must get out of mitochondria as part of?
citrate
citrate important b/c? (2)
activates key enzyme (acetyl-CoA carboxylase) and transfers acetyl CoA to cytoplasm
biotin is a
coenzyme (vitamin) in the melyonal-CoA rxn
synthesis is?
anabolic
oxidation is?
catabolic
