What fructose intermediate is found only in the liver?
What is the major dietary source of Fructose?
Fructose control is..?
- Fructose-1-Phosphate
- Intestinal Sucrase which yields both glucose and fructose
- Not under Insulin control
-
The Km of Hexokinase for Fructose is?
What does this mean?
- is high (low affinity)
- That very little F-6-P will be made with fructose. Fructose is a poor substrate competitor.
-
F-1-P Km is ____ compared to F16BP Km.
This means?
- High (lower affinity)
- Can at times lead to backup of F-1-P. Lack of Aldolase B leads to fructose poisoning
-
In order for Glyceraldahyde to enter glycolysis, what needs to happen?
Need to add a Phosphate via ATP.
-
A disease that is the lack of Fructokinase is called?
A disease that is the lack of Aldolase B is called?
- "Essential Fructosuria"- Fructose accumulation in the urine
- "Hereditary Fructose Intolerance" - Buildup of F-1-P, leads to phosphates sequestered--> low ATP production.
-
Other routes for F-6-P other than glycolysis include?
- Production of Glycoconjugates.
- F-6-P + Glutamine --> Glucosamine-6-phosphate + Glutamate
- This is a irreversible reaction
- N/O linkage. N(asparagine), O (threonine or serine)
- Create Mannose-6-P via isomerization
-
What is the role of Dolichol-pyrophosphate?
It is a very long lipid molecule that acts as an oligosaccharide carrier in the ER.
-
What is the Polyol Pathway and its function?
- Trapping sugars into a cell by adding Pi Group by NADPH based reduction.
- Example: in the seminal vessicals (remember fructose is broken down faster).
-
Hyperglycemic effects on sorbitol
Increased glucose amounts leads to more sorbitol and the high amounts of intracellular glucose causes water retention and damages the cells. Seen in Diabetes patients.
-
Functions of:
Galactokinase
Aldose reductase
Uridyltransferase
- Galactokinase Galactose--> galactose-1-P
- Aldose reductase Falactose--> galactitol
- Uridyltransferase Galactose-1-P --> UDP-Galactose
-
Functions of UDP-Galactose?
- Production of lactose. (in mammary tissue)
- uses the enzyme Lactose synthase that has 2 parts (A & B)
- A= Galactosyltransferase and B= lactalbumin)
-
Progesterone functions?
Prolactin functions?
- Inhibits protein B of Lactose Synthase
- Promotes Protein B of Lactose Synthase
-
Acid Glucose synthesis
- UDP-Glucose --> UDP-Glucouronate--> can lead to Vit C or Proteoglycan production
- Enzyme is UDP-glucose Dehydrogenase
-
Glucuronidation. What is it?
A process that creates polar compounds that can be more easily cleared in the urine.
-
Name some hormones that simulate lipolysis
Norepinephine, Glucocorticoids, GH, TH
-
What is Cushings disease?
Excess Glucocorticoids- Fat tissue reduced in the extremities.
-
Effects of :
- Insulin
- Glucagon - Epinephrinedo
- - Insulin- Inhibits lipolysis ( the breakdown of lipids) by inhibiting HSL via Dephosphorylation
- - Glucagon and Epinephrine- Promotes Lipolysis
-
Albumines role with Free Fatty acids?
How do TAG travel through the blood?
- Albumine acts as a plasma carrier of FFA's
- Triacylglycerols travel through the blood via Chylomicrons
-
Before the FA can enter the Mitochonria to be oxidized, what must occur?
Activation (addition of CoA) of the FA must occur.
- Fatty Acyl + ATP + CoASH--> Fatty Acyl-CoA
- * done with the Enzyme Acyl-CoA synthetase
-
What is the role of Carnitine? What is it made of?
- Carnitine transports Long Chain Fatty Acids through membranes into and out of the matrix (its the shuttle).
- It is made of 2 Essential Amino Acids. Lysine and 3 methionine (CH3) groups.
- The cell has 2 Carnitine-palmitoyl transferases
-
What are the 4 steps of B-Oxidation?
What is produced?
1. Oxidation 2. Hydration 3. Oxidation 4. Thiolytic cleavage
1FADH2 and 1NADH per cycle
-
What is the Respiratory Quotient?
How to compare energy efficiencies?
RQ = CO2 released/ O2 consumed
Efficiency= ATP produced/ per carbon
-
Three points of regulation of fatty acid utilization.
- 1. HS-lipase
- 2. Malonyl-CoA inhibites Carnitine Tranferase I. causes FA buildup.
- 3. Caritine transferase I- activity increases in prolonged fast.
-
Degradation of Very Long Chained Fatty Acids
- Takes place in the Peroxisomes.
- Peroxide needed.
-
What is Zellwegers Syndrome?
Features?
- Patients have non-functioning peroxisomes. Cannot break down VLCFA due to defective ladelling(M6P) of new proteins.
- Broad nose, and widely spaced eyes.
-
What is Refsums disease?
- When FA's B-carbon has a CH3 and the Alpha carbon cannot be oxidized. B-oxidation is stymied and cannot proceed. leads to the accumulation of Phytanic acid.
- The Hydroxylation step is prevented in this disorder.
- Phytanic acid (high in green plants).
-
Degradation of unsaturated FA
Proper oxidation of unsaturated FA requires isomerization to an intermediate trans shape.
-
Oxidation of Odd chain FA
- Need to add a carbon to make it a even number. This is done with CO2 addition.
- Total process requires 3 steps.
- Process requires Cobalamin (B12) and Biotin.
-
The most comon denzyme difficiency in B-Oxidation
- Medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (From the 1st step).
- Gets confused with SIDS
-
Carnitine Deficiency
Since there is an increase in Acyl-CoA that cannot get into the mitochondria, they are diverted to TAG synthesis. Will see lipid droplets in muscle cells.
