Cards

Term
Acyl CoA Synthase
Definition
fatty acid + CoA + ATP → fatty acyl CoA
Term

People with carnitine/acyltransferase deficiency can't use LCFA for fuel.

1. List two symptoms in adults.

 

2. How about neonates?

Definition

1. muscle weakness and HYPOKETOSIS

 

2. arrhythmias, death

Term

CAT-I/CPT-I

carnitine acyl transferase I

 

Definition
fatty acyl CoA + carnitine → acylcarnitine + CoA
Term
CAT-II/CPT-II
Definition
acylcarnitine + CoA → acyl CoA + carnitine
Term
People with low carnitine, have
Definition
lipid deposits in muscle, are weak
Term
Primary v. Seconday Carnitine Deficiency
Definition

Primary- congenital deficiency; system or absorption

 

Secondary-liver disease, diet, hemodialysis, severe infections, pregnancy,  burns, trauma

Term
Genetic CPT I deficiency
Definition

(primary)-affects LIVER

 

hypoglycemia during fast

Term
CPT II deficiency
Definition

cardiac and skeletal muscle

 

cardiomyopathy, muscle weakness, prolonged exercise

Term
What inhibits the carnitine shuttle?
Definition
Malonyl CoA
Term
What will inhibit Malonyl CoA?
Definition
Phosphorylation (inhibition) or acetyl CoA carboxylase
Term
What happens to medium/short FACs?
Definition
activated and oxidized in mitochondira
Term
4 Steps of B Oxidation.
Definition
OHOT
Term
What is the importance of succinyl CoA in Oxidation of fatty as?
Definition
made from oxidation of ODD number chain.  Adds 2 Carbons to TCA that can be used for gluconeogen.
Term
Is pyruvate dyhydrogenase reverisble? What does it do?
Definition

no.

 

pyruvate → acetyl CoA

Term
Review cycles from lecture 2 now.
Definition
Term
Regulation of Ketone synthesis
Definition

Promote synthesis....

1. inc. oxidation of f.a's

2. inc. glucagon (inhibit acetyl CoA carboxylase → → activate CPTI)

3. High NADH/ATP will inhibit acetyl co A from entering TCA

 

Term
Diabetic Ketoacidosis results in two lab findings...
Definition

ketonemia

ketouria

 

Explain why.

Term
Excess ketone bodies will promote the release ______ to ______.
Definition
Insulin to inhibit lipolysis.
Term
What is the physiological role of ketone bodies?
Definition
They're the preferred fuel of heart and renal-- they are water soluble source of acetyl units.
