Years ago there was interest in using uncouplers such as dinitrophenol as
weight control agents. Presumably, fat could be oxidized without concomi-
tant ATP synthesis for re-formation of fat or carbohydrate. Why was this a
bad (i.e., fatal) idea?
Can the carbons in ketones be metabolized and wind up in a glucose monosaccharide? If yes, using merely the information presented in class, outline a possible metabolic route for these carbons. If no, explain why not.
If a liver extract capable of carrying out normal metabolic reactions (including gluconeogenesis) is incubated with labeled pyruvate labeled with oxygen-18 at the carboxylate oxygen atom shown, where would the label be found in glucose? Explain both in words and illustration. If any of the positions be partially labeled, indicate that clearly and explain.
