Activation
The lipoprotein that transports dietary fats through the lymph.
Chylomicrons
This high-energy molecule is used up during activation.
ATP
The term for making fats from carbohydrates.
Lipogenesis
3 sources of lipids
digestive tract-diet
adipose tissue-stored
liver-synthesized
Location of where activation happens?
Cytoplasm
The blood condition caused by excess ketone bodies.
ketoacidosis
This coenzyme is reduced to FADH₂ during the first oxidation.
FAD
The main organ where fats are processed.
Liver
LDL VS HDL
LDL: 'bad chloesterol', from liver to peripheral tissues to peripheral tissues
HDL: 'good cholesterol', from dead cells back to liver (synthesis of bile acids)
Your body uses how many ATP in this step?
2
The organ where ketone bodies are made.
Liver
The enzyme that cleaves the 2-carbon unit in β-oxidation.
Thiolase
he 3-carbon molecule in triglycerides.
glycerol
Order of fatty acid oxidation
activation
transport
oxidation
What is coenzyme A?
This molecule attaches to the fatty acid to activate it.
The name for fat-digesting enzymes.
Lipases
The final product of each β-oxidation turn.
Acetyl Co-A
The building blocks of fats.
fatty acids
storage and metabolism of TAG's regulated by?
insulin and glucagon
This molecule transports fatty acids into the mitochondria.
carnitine
lipogenesis occurs in
cytosol
The enzyme that removes two H atoms to form a double bond in Step 1.
Dehydrogenase
This hormone tells fat cells to release energy.
Glucagon
Chylomicrons
