25
What is CPT complex reversibly inhibited by?
Malonyl-CoA | involved in the 1st committed step in FA synthesis
26
At what pH does CPT complex work most effectively?
at a Neutral PH
27
With what decrease in pH does CPT complex stop working?
Cpt 1 is inhibted from a ph decrease 7.0->6.8
28
What does Beta oxidation refer to?
the four steps that occur prior to having fat enter the aeroboic system (OHOT)
29
What is OHOT?
Oxidation Hydration Oxidation Thiolysis
30
What enzyme drives the first Oxidation in OHOT?
Acyl CoA dehydrogenase
31
What enzyme drives Hydration in OHOT?
Enoyl CoA hydratase
32
What enzyme drives the second oxidation in OHOT?
L-3 hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase
33
What enzyme drives the Thiolysis in OHOT?
Beta-ketothiolase
34
What are the products of beta oxidation?
FADH2 and NADH Acetyl CoA Fatty acid "minus two"
35
What is the product of Acyl CoA dehydrogenase?
oxidation (what the enzyme does) produces a double bond and FADH2
36
What does Enoyl CoA hydratase do?
adds a hydroxyl group and removes a double bond
37
What is the product of L-3 hydroxyacyl CoA?
oxidation turns the hydroxyl group into a carbonyl (the hydroxyl group was formed from Enoyl CoA hydratase)
38
Where does the Acetyl CoA formed in Beta-oxidation go?
it enters the Krebs cycle to produced FADH2 and NADH to be sent to the ETS
39
What are the two additional enzymes required when we have an Unsaturated FA?
2,4-dienoyl CoA Reductase Isomerase
40
What additional enzymes do Polyunsaturated FA need?
If odd numbered Double bonds just Isomerase. | If even numbered double bonds, reductase and isomerase.
41
For Beta-Oxidation of Unsaturated FA's and even numbered FA's what is the order of reactions?
ORIOT (Oxidation Reductase Isomerase Oxidation Thyolysis)
42
what is the different product of odd-chain fatty acids?
propionyl CoA
43
What is the product of odd-chain fatty acids, propionyl CoA, turned into?
Succinyl CoA
44
If energy is required in the Liver what occurs in mitochondria for FA oxidation regulation?
Beta oxidation
45
If energy is not needed from the liver during FA oxidation regulation, what happens?
TAG and phospholipids in cytosol are formed
46
When there is a High NADH/NAD+ ratio what is giving off to stop which oxidation step in OHOT?
signal high energy | Inhibits 2nd oxidation step (3-hydroxyacyl CoA dehydrogenase)
47
What does a High concentration of Acetyl CoA inhibit?
inhibits thioase
48
For FA oxidation regulation, what does an increase in glucose do?
increases malonyl CoA | inhibits CPT I and Inhibits Beta-oxidation
49
For FA oxidation regulation, an increase in AMP concentration from fasting or excercising cause what?
AMPKinase (activation) Stimulates FA oxidation Inhibits FA synthesis
50
What are the hormone(s) that stimulate FA oxidation?
epinephrine Norepinephrine Glucagon
51
What stimulates FA oxidation ?
Hormones AMP (cAMP) Low energy
52
What hormone(s) inhibit FA oxidation?
Insulin
53
What inhibits FA oxidation?
``` Hormones (insulin) High glucose high energy high NADH/NAD+ Malonyl Coa ```
54
What are the key enzymes in FA oxidation?
Lipases Acyl CoA synthetase Acyl CoA dehydrogenase
55
what do lipases do?
frees fatty acids from tyiglycerids
56
what does Acyl CoA synthetase do?
Activates the Fa for transport into the mitochondria
57
What are the steps in FA oxidation?
1. mobilize the FA from triglyceride (Lipases) 2. Bring FA to the mitochondria 3. Activate FA Transport the FA into the matrix of mitochondria 4. Beta Oxidation (OHOT or ORIOT) 5. Enter the aerobic system (Krebs and ETS) 6. Make ATP
58
What is HSL strongly inhibited by?
Insulin
59
Muscle adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) is significantly elevated in who?
type 2 diabetics
60
HSL (hormone sensitive lipase) skeletal muscle protein content is significantly reduced and heavily inhibited in who ?
type 2 deabetics
61
Hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) exibits a 10-fold higher specific activity for what?
DAG rather than TAG
