Excess alcohol consumption can result in fatty liver disease. Liver cells synthesize triacylglycerides from fatty acids formed by fatty acid synthesis. Excess triacylglycerides can accumulate in the liver compromising normal liver function. D.Explain how stimulation of the rate of fatty acid synthesis changes the rate of fatty acid oxidation based on allosteric regulation of the rate-limiting step of beta-oxidation.

n. 5. Calculate the amount of energy released in the liver upon the complete oxidation of a triacylglycerol containing two 6-carbon saturated fatty acids and one oleic acid. Show your calculations. bedios
Need help, please. For the scenario below relating to Glycogenolysis, please explain how glucose release would be affected. Would it increase, decrease, or result in no change when compared to “normal” conditions? In addition, please identify which enzyme or reaction is affected and why. Scenario: free inorganic phosphate is chelated
f. There is a proposal that pyrazole could protect against the damaging effects of alcohol on the liver that result from prolonged decrease in the ratio of [NAD+]/[NADH] caused by the oxidation of alcohol. ( NAD+ is required for several key dehydrogenation steps in the pathway of glucose synthase. NADH promotes the accumulation of fat in the liver cells) Assuming that pyrazole is not toxic and that it is transported to the liver, evaluate its potential as an antidote to liver damage in treating chronic alcoholism. Would it be a reasonable therapeutical candidate? Explain.
A. Identify different types of organic reaction mechanims in the followingmetabolic pathways.1. Catabolism of triacylglycerols- beta-oxidation pathway2. Biosynthesis of fatty acids from Acetyl CoA3. Glycolysis (from glucose to two molecules of pyruvate)4. Conversion of Pyruvate to Acetyl CoA5.Citric acid cycle6. Gluconeogensis pathway (pyruvate to glucose) B. Identify at most 5 organic reactions for each metabolic pathway.
Long explanations are not needed. Direct answers would suffice. a. High concentration of glucose 6-phosphate is inhibitory to the enzyme hexokinase. I. True II. False b. Which compound is formed when NAH reduces pyruvate (anaerobic condition)? I. lactate II. alpha-ketoglutarate III. glucose IV. oxaloacetate
A. What would be the effect of barbiturate abuse on oxidative phosphorylation ? B. What is the biochemical basis of carbon monoxide fatility?
1. Briefly explain why an individual with Aldolase B deficiency will suffer from hypoglycemia upon ingestion of fructose. Make sure to mention the affected pathways and explain why these are affected. 2. Briefly explain the mechanism involved when an individual with glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency develops an episode of hemolytic crisis after eating fava beans. Make sure to mention pathways and enzymes involved.
explain with proper details please. Compare the net production of ATP from four molecules of glucose (4 x C6) with that from one molecule of n-Tetracosanoic acid (Lignoceric acid, C24) as a result of oxidative metabolism (show your work). As a storage molecule, which is more energy efficient and why?
B. Consider the following types of cells and their respective conditions: i. a liver cell with non-functional malate-aspartate shuttle* ii. a skeletal muscle cell lacking oxygen iii. a cell with ATP synthase deficiency* * Assume that the deficiency is isolated and will not influence the function of other respiration components In these cells/tissues, determine the following from the catabolism of the 2.5 moles of the disaccharide lactose (which will be hydrolyzed first to yield glucose and galactose). Net ATP from glycolysis b. ATP from oxidative decarboxylation (if applicable) c. ATP formed from Krebs cycle (if applicable) d. Total net ATP
A. Identify different types of organic reaction mechanims in the following metabolic pathways.4. Conversion of Pyruvate to Acetyl CoA5.Citric acid cycle6. Gluconeogensis pathway (pyruvate to glucose) B. Identify at most 5 organic reactions for each metabolic pathway.
Need help, please. In this scenario, a patient has beriberi. Beriberi patients can be treated through a thiamine-enriched diet. The patient was put on a thiamine-enriched diet but not all of their symptoms were alleviated. Through genetic testing, it was found that there was also a small defect in pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase that decreases its normal activity. 1. Explain why this genetic defect can cause beriberi symptoms (i.e. high pyruvate levels after a high-carb meal). 2. Why did thiamine supplementation not alleviate the symptoms for this patient?
