Document Summary
,b used mostly for talking about sites of chemical reactivity. Lipid catabolism mobilizes the organism"s main energy storage form. C1, c2 cn used for locations of features, e. g. double bonds. Approx. available energy by form (cid:523)normal weight male(cid:524) . Fas are stored as triacylglycerol in (cid:498)fat cells(cid:499) ie. ad)pocytes. Circulating fuels - 400kj (includes glucose, fas, etc) Perilipin is a protein that coats lipid droplets, protecting them from lipases until phosphorylated. 3(cid:524) pka phosphorylates and activates hormone sensitive lipase (cid:523)(sl(cid:524) and . Fig 10-3: acetyl groups are oxidized to co2 via the citric acid cycle, electrons from stages 1 and 2 pass to. Tag in adipocytes collect in oily bubbles coated by the protein perilipin to form lipid globules. Fa degradation occurs in the mitochondria of cells (eg. muscle cells) that have a need for atp. Therefore need to breakdown tag reserves in adipocyte & transport fa in order for energy to be available to target tissue.
