Document Summary

Lecture 14 5 questions: -fats are the major source of energy in liver and muscle, not rbc or brain. Tags are the storage form: in blood fats are transported by albumin. In cytosol fats are transported by fatty acid binding proteins: a) in the muscle, fats are metabolized by the tca cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, in the liver, fats are metabolized by converting into ketone bodied. 4. fat metabolism is controlled by the rate of lipolysis which is regulated by insulin, glucagon, cortisol and epinephrine: short/medium chains- diffuse through passive diffusion. Cycles continue until all c"s have been turned to acetyl-coa. Alpha and beta carbons combine with a double bond, which is then broken by water and hydroxyl groups is turned into a double bonded oxygen. Thiolase then split it into acetyl-coa and fatty acyl-coa. Acetoacetyl-coa forms acetoacetate which then splits into acetone and beta- hydroxybutyrate forming nad and co2.
