oxidation of fatty acids and ketone bodies
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| beta oxidation f/s/p | Functions: produces energy and converts long chains of fatty acyl groups to acetyl CoA Substrates: long-chain fatty acyl CoA (and medium-chain fatty acyl CoA as well), CoASH, FAD, NAD+ Product: acetyl CoA, FADH2, NADH |
| beta oxidation c/r/c/t | Control Enzymes: acyl CoA dehydrogenase Regulation: by the cells' requirements for energy (levels of ATP and NADH); the speed of the ETC- pathway NOT reversible Compartment(s): mitochondria Tissues of interest: every cell that has a mitochondria |
| what tissues oxidize ketone bodies? | (SKIB) S- skeletal muscles K- Kidney cells (certain) I- Intestinal mucosa B- Brain |
