Question
Answer
Metabolism of alcohol inthe liver produces   Acetate  
🗑
Ethanol + NAD --> Acetaldehyde + NADH   Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)  
🗑
Acetaldehyde + NAD --> Acetate + NADH   Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH)  
🗑
Ethanol metabolism occurs mainly in the   Liver  
🗑
Ethanol metabolism oxidizes ethanol to   Acetate  
🗑
Ethanol metabolism reduces NAD+ to   NADH  
🗑
What is the intermediate occuring in ethanol metabolism   Acetaldehyde  
🗑
Two process for convertin gethanol to acetaldehyde exist   Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) or the MEOS system  
🗑
With the MEOS system what is not produced   NADH  
🗑
In the case of moderate ethanol consumption, what catalyzes the conversion of ethanol --> acetaldehyde   Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)  
🗑
With higher/chronic levels of ethanol consumption, what catabolizes an increasing percentage of the ethanol --> acetaldehyde   Microsomal Ethanol Oxidizing System (MEOS)  
🗑
Where does teh MEOS system occur   On the endoplasmic reticulum  
🗑
What enyzmes is used in the MEOS system   Cytochrom P450 enzyme CYP2E1  
🗑
What is the cytochrome P450 enzyme which oxidizes ethanol to acetaldehyed in the MEOS process   CYP2E1  
🗑
What besides ethonal is oxidized in the MEOS system   NADPH  
🗑
What is used as the ultimate oxidzing agent by cytochrome P450 enzymes   Molecular O2  
🗑
Does CYP2E1 have a higher or lower Km for ethanol than does hepatic ADH   Higher  
🗑
What does ethanol do to other P450 systems   Inibits them  
🗑
The acetate produced from ethanol is activated to   Acetyl CoA  
🗑
Acetyl CoA from Acetate from Ethanol can be used for   TCA cycle, Fatty acid synthesis, Cholesterol biosynthesis, Ketone body synthesis  
🗑
The NADH from ethanol metabolism may be reoxidized via hepatic   Oxidative Phosphorylation or Dehydrogenase Reactions  
🗑
Acetate from ethanol metabolism can be exported from teh liver to extrahepatic cells where it is   Activated to acetyl CoA and catabolized via the TCA cycle in these cells  
🗑
What are three big users of acetate   Skeletal muscle, Heart, and Kidney  
🗑
The ability to metabolize ethanol varies widely from person to person due to the occurrence of   Polymorphism inthe enzymes of ethanol metabolism  
🗑
How many isoenzymes of alcohol dehydrogenase are specific for ethanol   Three of five  
🗑
What isoenzymes of ADH are most specific for ethanol and occur in the liver   ADH 1 and ADH 2  
🗑
Which as the higher Km ADH 1 or ADH 2   ADH 2  
🗑
Which ADH isoenzyme occurs in the upper GI tract   ADH 4  
🗑
How many isoenzymes of acetaldehyde dehydtrogenas are there   Two, ALDH 1 and ALDH 22  
🗑
Where do the isoenzymes of ALDH occur   Liver  
🗑
Which ALDH isoenzyme is mitochondrial   ALDH 2  
🗑
Which ALDH isoenyzme is cystosolic   ALDH 1  
🗑
What is the major ALDH isoenzyme   ALDH 2  
🗑
Which ALDH isoenzymes has the higher Km   ALDH 1  
🗑
The commone genetic variant of this ALDH isoenzyme has relatively low activity that causes toxic levels of acetaldehyde to accumulate leading to nausea, vomiting, and avoidance of ethanol (homozygotes)   ALDH 2  
🗑
Increased ethanol ingestin results in the induction of the genes for   ADH and ALDH  
🗑
The genes for CYP2E1 are induced in response to   Increased ethanol levels  
🗑
Degradation of CYP2E1 is inhibited by   High ethanol levels  
🗑
NADH levels from high/chronic ethanol ingesting and catabolism may exceed the liver's ability to reoxidize NADH via   Oxidative phosphorylation  
🗑
ADH and ALDH are not regulated b y   NADH/NAD or ATP/ADP-AMP levels  
🗑
The amount of ethanol catabolizm occuring depends on the amount of   Ethanol present  
🗑
Excessive high hepatic NADH levels... TCA Cycle activity   Decreases  
🗑
Isocitrate dehydrogenase is ... by NADH   Allosterically inhibited  
🗑
Excessive high hepatic NADH levels... Beta oxidation   Decreases  
🗑
Excessive high hepatic NADH levels... Glycolysis   Decreases  
🗑
Excessive high hepatic NADH levels... Glycerol-3-phosphate production   Increases  
🗑
Excessive high hepatic NADH levels...Lactate production from pyruvate   Increses  
🗑
Excessive high hepatic NADH levels...Malate prduction from oxaloacetate   Increases  
🗑
A fatty liver may develop because of increased triglyceride synthesis due to   Increased glycerol-3-phosphate syntehsis and decreased beta oxidation  
🗑
Liver damage due to excess acetaldehyde leades to decreased   Protein synthesis, Lipoprotein synthesis, Liporotein export  
🗑
Ketoacidosis may occur with highchronic ethanol ingesting because of   Decreased TCA cycle, Excess Acetyl CoA, Increased ketone body production, Decrease ketone body utilization  
🗑
There is decreased ketone body utilization in high/chronic ethanol ingesting because   The heart and kidney prefer to catabolize acetate over ketone bodies  
🗑
Lactic acidosis may occur with high/chronic ethanol ingestion because   High NADH levels increase lactate prduction from pyruvate  
🗑
At high levels of lactate the liver imports and uses ... amounts of lactate   Decreased  
🗑
Lactate competes with uric acid for excretion by the kidney resulting in   Gout  
🗑
Hypoglycemia in a fast may occur with high/chronic ethanol ingestion because ... hepatic lactate uptake occurs   Decreased  
🗑
A decrease in lactate uptake by the liver cause pyruvate from transamination of alanine to be converted to ... instead of ...   Lactate, Glucose  
🗑
Dihydroxyacetone phosphate is converted to   Glycerol=3-phosphate  
🗑
Hyperglycemia may occur with hihg-chonric ethanol ingetion in a   Fed state  
🗑
Acetaldehyde binds to   Amino acids  
🗑
Acetaldehyde causes ... protein syntehsis   Decreased  
🗑
Lipoprotien syntehsis is decreased due to lack of necessary   Apoproteins  
🗑
Acetaldehyde binds to glutathione decreasing its   Antioxidant activity  
🗑
Increased CYP2E1 activity in the MEOS system ... free radical formation   Increases  
🗑
To correct for hepatic damage the liver attempts wound healing and connetive tissue syntehsis is   Increased  
🗑
What connective tissue is especially used in hepatic repair   Collagen  
🗑
