Transcript Lipid Metabolism: Power Point presentation

Fat Mobilization
Fat mobilization
• Breaks down triacylglycerols
in adipose tissue.
• Forms fatty acids and glycerol.
• Hydrolyzes fatty acid initially
from C1 or C3 of the fat.

glycerol + 3 fatty acids

stimulated by glucagon and epinephrine.

Fatty Acid Oxidation
Summary of fatty acid oxidation for stearic acid (C18:0)
Number of cycles required = 8
First oxidation x 8:
8 FADH2 =
16 ATP
Second oxidation x 8:
8 NADH =
24 ATP
Eight cycles yields 9 acetyl-CoA
1 acetyl-CoA = 3 NADH,
1 FADH2, 1GTP = 12 ATP
Acetyl-CoA x 9 =
108 ATP
Initial activation cost =
(2 ATP)
Net energy produced =
146 ATP
Other Roles of Acetyl–CoA:
Precursor of Sterols, Steroids, and Ketone Bodies

sterols, steroids
Second condensation

Lipogenesis: Fatty Acid Synthesis
Lipogenesis
Is the synthesis of fatty acids from acetyl CoA.
Occurs in the cytosol.
Uses reduced coenzyme NADPH.
Requires an acyl carrier protein (ACP).

First Reduction Reaction
Reducing agent is NADPH (corresponding oxidation reaction
in fatty acid oxidation pathway uses NAD+ as the oxidizing agent)

C S ACP + NADP+
Reducing agent is NADPH (corresponding oxidation reaction
in fatty acid oxidation pathway uses FAD as the oxidizing agent)
This cycle repeats using another malonyl–ACP and adding two more carbons.
Fatty acid released after seven cycles.
Summary of Lipogenesis
Fatty Acid Length and
Unsaturation
In fatty acid synthesis
• Shorter fatty acids undergo fewer cycles.
• Longer fatty acids are produced from
palmitate using special enzymes.
• Unsaturated cis bonds are incorporated into
a 10-carbon fatty acid that is elongated
further.
Regulation of Fatty Acid Synthesis
In fatty acid synthesis
• A high level of blood glucose and insulin
stimulates glycolysis and pyruvate
oxidation.
• More acetyl CoA is available to form fatty
acids.

Glycerol phosphate

Transport:
Assembled into very-low-density lipoprotein complexes (VLDL) and
these used to transport fatty acids to tissues for fuel and to adipocytes
for storage.
