4 things the liver will do in a fasting state
The liver will
1. Release glucose in the blood from its glycogen
stores (glycogenolysis)
2. Synthesize and release in the blood
‘new’ glucose (gluconeogenesis)
3. Synthesize and release in the
blood ketone bodies (ketogenesis)
4. Use exclusively faty acid
oxidaton (vs ketone bodies and glucose) to maintain its
functon
Fat cell view

what hormone makes the switch from fed to starving state actions
glucagon adrenaline epinephrine
3 enzymes of adipose lipolysis
which is rate limiter
- ATGL (adipose triacylglycerol lipase)... RATE LIMIT
- HSL (hormone sensitive Lipase)
- MAGL (monoacylglycerol lipase): NOT hormonally reg
Regulation of Lipolysis
steps from basal to stimulated

PKA phosphorylation: CGI-58 gets unsequestered via phosphorylation of perilipin
ATGL activated
HSL also phosphorylated, increased activity and translocates to the lipid droplet to act
Insulin and lipolysis

how many FA at a time can albumin carry
adipose tissue fuel options
many
can send glycerol on to make glucose
fa to tissues for ox
FA into tissues during fasted state
two sources
important enzyme
two organelles and way in each

carnitine shuttle

Fatty acids shorter than 10 carbons ...

FA oxidation process (4 steps, RL enzyme, final products)

side by side of fa oxidation v synth

diff lengths of acyl coa dehydrogenases

MCADD

most common
high levels of acyl carnitines of specific lengths will diagnose
Energy from stearate oxidation

oxidation of odd chain FA

Regulation of mitochondrial FA ox

FA oxidation in peroxisomes

diff enzymes
not atp linked, so results leave as acyl carnitines of FFA, not acyl coa-->shortened FA and acyl carnitines go to mitochondria to be completed
Adrenoleukodistrophy

important concepts FA ox lecture

important concepts from ketone body lecture
Enzymes
- Thiolase
- HMG-CoA synthase
- HMG-CoA lyase
- D-b-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase
Molecules
- Beta hydroxybutyrate
- Acetoacetate
- acetone
Processes
- Ketogenesis
- Overview of ketone metabolism
- Utilization of ketone bodies for energy by extra hepatic tissues
the three ketone bodies and their structures

image of ketone body w other processes

preferrential if atp high
ketogenesis
steps
important enzyme
what causes it
location
rate reflects what
what can it stimulate

soo, if have a lot of acetyl coa AND lots of ATP, this is likely, bc then it means are in FA ox and need to make more energy.. also would have a lot of nadh but FROM fa ox. (use nadph to build)
blood ketone concentrations reflect...
ketone body reg

helps to prevent muscles from making glucose... alternative fuel that keeps muscles in tact
overview of ketone metabolism

utilization of ketone bodies by extra hepatic tissues
