A

carnitine deficiency

inability to transport LCFAs to mitochondria

182
Q

A

acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency

acetyl-CoA required for pyruvate carboxylase in gluconeogenesis

183
Q

A

excess NADH shunts oxaloacetate to malate

184
Q

A

Protein, carbohydrate: 4 cal
Fat: 9 cal
Alcohol: 7 cal

185
Q

ATP
Creatine phosphate
anaerobic metabolism
aerobic metabolism
A

ATP: 2 sec
Creat phosphate: 10 sec
Anaerobic metabolism: 1 min
Aerobic: plateaus 1 min

186
Q

How long does it take to deplete glycogen stores?

A

1d

187
Q

What to LPLs do?

A

degrade TG circulating in chylomicrons and VLDLs

found on vascular endothelial surface

188
Q

What to hepatic lipases do?

A

degrade TG in IDL

189
Q

What do hormone-sensitive lipases do?

A

degrad TG in adipocytes

190
Q

What do LCAT and CETP do?

A

LCAT- esterification of cholesterol- helps for mature HDL
CETP- helps transfer cholesterol esters from HDL to other lipoproteins
esterified cholesterol is trapped in lipoprotein, cant diffuse across membrane

191
Q

What does Apolipoprotein E do? Where is it found?

A

mediates remnant uptake

Found on all but LDL

192
Q

What does Apolipoprotein A1 do? Where is it found?

A
activates LCAT (esterification of cholesterol)
on chylomicron, HDL
193
Q

What does Apolipoprotein C-II do? Where is it found?

A

cofactor for LPL

chylomicron, VLDL, HDL

194
Q

What does Apolipoprotein B-48 do? Where is it found?

A

mediates chylomicron secretion

chylomicron, chylomicron remnant

195
Q

What does Apolipoprotein B-100 do? Where is it found?

A

Binds LDLR

VLDL, IDL, LDL

196
Q

What lipoproteins are highest in cholesterol? What do they do?

A

LDL and HDL
LDL transports chol from liver to tissues
HDL transports chol from tissue to liver

197
Q

What does chylomicron do? what receptors?

A

delivers TGs to peripheral tissue (from intestinal)
delivers cholesterol to liver as chylomicron remant
E,A,C, B48 (all but B100)

198
Q

What does VLDL do? what receptors?

A

delivers hepatic TGs to peripheral tissues (from liver)

E,C,B100

199
Q

What does IDL do? what receptors?

A

degradation of VLDL, delivers TGs and cholesterol to liver

E, B100

200
Q

What does LDL do? what receptors?

A

delivers hepatic cholesterol to peripheral tissue (formed in liver from IDL)
taken up via receptor-mediated endocytosis
B100 only

201
Q

What does HDL do? what receptors?

A

mediates transport of cholesterol from periphery to liver

acts as repository for apoC and apoE

202
Q

What lipoprotein is increase by alcohol?

A

HDL

203
Q

pancreatitis, hepatosplenomegaly, pruritic xanthoams

A

I- hyperchylomicronemia
AR
lipoprotein lipase deficiency or altered lipoprotein C

204
Q

accelerated atherosclerosis, tendon xanthomas, corneal arcus

A

IIa- familial hypercholesterolemia
Codominant/ autosomal dominant
absent or defective LDLR

205
Q

pancreatitis, incr VLDL

A

IV- familial hypertriglycidemia

AD
