22
Q

reaction of ATP and creatinine will form

A

phosphocreatine

23
Q

creatine is made in the _____ but travels to brain/muscles

24
Q

is ATP reservoir in muscle; combines with ADP to form ATP

A

phosphocreatine

25
degradation of phosphocreatine forms
creatinine
26
creatinine is excreted in ______ since it is filtered it can act as a measurement for
excreted in liver and can be used to measure GFR
27
action of hydrolase cleaves S-adenosyl homocysteine to homocysteine and subsequent used to create ______ or _____
methionine or cysteine
28
homocysteine reacts with ____________ under action of methionine synthase to form methionine; uses ____as a cofactor
methionine synthase and uses VB12 as a cofactor
29
methionine can be regenerated from homcysteine via choline derivative called
betaine
30
homocysteine reacts with ________ under action of cystathione B-synthase and uses _____ as a cofactor
serine and uses PLP as a cofactor
31
cystahionine is cleaved by cystathionase to and uses _____ as a cofactor
cysteine and uses PLP as a cofactor
32
cysteine has a __________ feedback on cystathione B-synthase
negative
33
cysteine can be degraded to alpha-ketobutyrate which can then become
succinyl-CoA
34
cystein is derived from
serine and methionine
35
cystein can be used to form ____, a major constituent of bile
taurine
36
methionine synthase reaction combines N5 methyl THF with homocysteine and uses VB12 as a cofactor to regenerate methionine
folate trap
37
deficiency in cobalamine results in deficiency of
folate
38
homocysteine is made from _________ reaction to form SAM
methionine
39
homocysteine stays as homocysteine in the cells, in the urine it becomes
homocystine
40
defect in cystathionine can lead to high levels of homocysteine can lead to form
homocystine
41
treatment for high concentration to homocystine
VitB6 also give choline/betaine
42
choline/betaine
consumes homocysteine and form methionine
43
increased risk of arterial disease and patients are tall/thin and have vision problems
high levels of homocystine
