Study Set Content:
serves as a substitute reservoir for storing extensive quantities of excess fat.
Liver
Through prolonged energy overload, the unspent excess energy is stored in adipose tissue and in hepatocytes in the form of
triglycerides
The metabolism cycle is extended to the
citric acid cycle, and urea cycle.
Fatty acids are degraded via
oxidation
Fatty acids are degraded via oxidation, which releases large amounts of
ATP
Lipid metabolism is concerned mainly with
fatty acids & cholesterol.
Acetyl-CoA formed by oxidation may undergo
three fates
As with acetyl-CoA arising from
glycolysis
As with acetyl-CoA arising from glycolysis, it is oxidized to
CO2 and H2O
As with acetyl-CoA arising from glycolysis, it is oxidized to CO2 and H2O via the
citric acid cycle.
It is the precursor for synthesis of
cholesterol and other steroids
In the liver, it is used to form ketone bodies
acetoacetate and 3-hydroxybutyrate
the liver, it is used to form ketone bodies (acetoacetate and 3-hydroxybutyrate) that are important fuels in
prolonged fasting
s a metabolite derived from glucose, fatty acid, and amino acid catabolism.
Acetyl-CoA
The digestion of lipids begins in the oral cavity through exposure to
lingual lipases
acetyl group
Beta-mercapto-ethylamine
Pantothenic acid
3',5'-ADP
The digestion of lipids begins in the oral cavity through exposure to lingual lipases, which are secreted by glands in the (blank) to begin the process of digesting triglycerides.
