Q

Glycerophospholipids

A
5
Q

Glycerol 3 phosphate is produced from which of the following outside of the liver?

Glycerol

Glyceraldehyde 3 Phosphate

Dihydroxyacetone phosphate

Pyruvate

Lactate

A

Dihydroxyacetone phosphate — This is how G3P is made outside the liver.

Q

Ganglioside Structure

A
12
Q

GM1(a ganglioside) Can be best described bt which one of the following terms?

Glycerophospholipid

Cerebroside — only one sugar not two

Phospholipid — there’s no phosphate so its not this.

Diglyceride

Glycolipid

A

Glycolipid — lipid to which sugars are attached. (A better term would be glycosphingolipid)

Simplified View of Phospholipid Synthesis

A
21
Q

Partial Rationale for Phospholipid Synthesis

A
22
Q

Which tissue will utilize the glycerol pathway?

Brain

Red Blood Cell

Intestine

Liver

Muscle

A

Liver — only the liver has glycerol kinase so only the liver can use glycerol to get to phospholipid synthesis.

23
Q

What other pathway utilizes a head group activation process?

Glycolysis

Glycogen synthesis

Glycogenolysis

HMP Shunt

Fatty Acid Degradation

A

Glycogen synthesis

24
Q

Individual has a primary carnitine deficiency. Triglyceride synthesis in the liver would be expected to be which one of the following compared to an individual with no carnitine deficiency?

Increased

Decreased

Same

A

Increased

25
Q

Role of Plasmalogens

A
26
Q

Mitochondrial Function may be compromised by which disorder?

Typ 1 Diabetes

Type 2 Diabetes

Zellwedgers Syndrome

Galactosemia

Fructokinase Deficiency

Pompe Diseases

A

Zellwedgers Syndrome — lack of peroxisomes.

27
Q

Zellwedgers syndrome would lead to an accumulation of which one of the following?

Bicarboxilc acids

Branched Chain Fatty Acids

Propionyl CoA

Carnitine

A

Branched Chain Fatty Acids

28
Q

Biosynthesis of Sphingosine

A
29
Q

Vitamin B6 was also required for which one of the following enzymes?

Glycogen Synthase

Glycogen Phosphorylase

Pyruvate dehydrogenase

Isocitrate Dehydrogenase

Transketolase

A

Glycogen Synthase — No cofactors required

Glycogen Phosphorylase — Requires B6

Pyruvate dehydrogenase — Requires the big 5

Isocitrate Dehydrogenase — requires NAD

Transketolase — Requires B1
