| The citrate shuttle is involved with which process? | FA synthesis from acetyl CoA |
| The carnitine shuttle is involved with which process? | FA metabolism to ketones and TCA cycle |
| What is the mechanism and Sx of carnitine deficiency? | can't transport LCFA's into mitochondria, so they accumulate. causes weakness, hypotonia and HYPOKETOTIC HYPOGLYCEMIA |
| where does FA metabolism take place? | mitochondria |
| What are the Sx of Acyl-CoA DH deficiency? | increased dicarboxylic acid, increased glucose and ketones |
| What are FA and AA normally converted to in the liver? | acetoacetate, Beta-hydroxybutyrate |
| In what 2 states are there increased ketone bodies and how are they made? | Starvation (by lack of oxaloacetate) and alcoholism (by shunting to malate), TCA cycle gets stalled and ketone bodies produced with are metabolized by the brain to 2 Acetyl-CoA |
| What are the signs that ketone bodies are being produced? | breath smells like acetone, urine test for ketones does not detect beta-hydroxybutyrate |
| How much energy from 1 g of carb vs 1 g of fat? | 1g portein or carb=4 kcal. 1g fat=9kcal |
| What are the body's overall priorities in starvation? | supply glucose to brain and RBC's, preserve protein |
| What metabolism is used in the fed state and what is used to stimulate storage of lipids, proteins and glycogen? | use glycolysis and aerobic respiration. insulin stimulates storage |
| What metabolism is used in the fasting state and what is used to stimulate usage of reserve fuels? | hepatic glycogenolyisis, adipose relase of FFA. use glucagon and adrenaline to use fuel reserves |
| How is blood glucose level maintained in the first 3 days of starvation? | 2.hepatic glycogenolyisis 2. adipose relase of FFA 3. muslce and liver shift fuel use to FFA 4. hepatic gluconeogenesis from alanine and lacktate, adipose tissue(only odd chain FFA) |
| How long does it take to deplete glycogen reserves? | only 1 day |
| Why can't RBC's use ketones? | no mitochondria |
| What is the major source of energy for the body after 3 days of starvation? | adipose stores, after this vital protein degradation, organ failure, death |
