Chapter 27, Problem 17P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The metabolite in the given case should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

A metabolite is that the intermediate consequence of metabolism. The term substance is typically restricted to tiny molecules.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Defending predictions about Malonyl-CoA as a key indicator of nutrient availability.

Concept Introduction:

Malonyl-CoA could be a extremely regulated molecule in carboxylic acid synthesis; intrinsically, it inhibits the rate-limiting step in beta-oxidation of fatty acids. Malonyl CoA inhibits fatty acids from associating with carnitine by regulation the protein carnitine acyl transferase, thereby preventing them from coming into the mitochondria, wherever carboxylic acid chemical reaction and degradation occur.

. Glucagon secretion causes inhibition of intracellular acetyl-CoA car- boxylase activity by several mechanisms. Name all you can think of.
Discuss the regulation of fatty acid metabolism by the isozymic forms of acetyl CoA carboxylase. Explain the reciprocal control of fatty acid synthesis and degradation and the various means by which this control is achieved
The total degradation of a fatty acid with an odd number of carbons yields acetyl-CoA and another compound, X.  Show the structure of X, and describe the pathway by which it is converted into a citric acid cycle intermediate, including where any cofactors participate.
