What aids the re-esterification of Glyceral and 3 fatty acid molecules into a triglyceride?
Lactate
1 of 10
Fat oxidation can be summarised into three simple steps. What is the 1st step?
Lipids must be mobilised from adipose tissue. TAG is degraded to fatty acids & glycerol
2 of 10
Fat oxidation can be summarised into three simple steps. What is the 2nd step?
Fatty acids must be taken into the cell, activated and transported into the mitochondria for further degradation.
3 of 10
Fat oxidation can be summarised into three simple steps. What is the 3rd step?
Fatty acids are broken down step by step to acetyl CoA to enter the TCA cycle.
4 of 10
Fat oxidation can be summarised into three simple steps. What catalyses the reaction in the first step
Hormone sensitive lipase
5 of 10
Fat oxidation can be summarised into three simple steps. What happens to the glycerol formed in the 1st step?
It is absorbed by the liver and is converted to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
6 of 10
What is a function for glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate
It acts as an intermediate in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis
7 of 10
Transport of FFA across the cell membrane into muscle cells occurs through:
Facilitated diffusion
8 of 10
FFA are converted to CoA derivative in preparation for Beta Oxidation. What else does this priming reactin require?
ATP
9 of 10
What happens to the glycerol compounds formed in the breakdown of triglycerides
They are absorbed by the liver
