Chapter 27, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

About Leptin’s mechanism of action.

Concept Introduction:

Mechanisms of Leptin action and Leptin resistance. The fatty tissue-derived secretion Leptin acts via its receptor (LRb) within the brain to manage energy balance and system perform. LRb signal via STAT3 and variety of different pathways is needed for the totality of Leptin action.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

About loss of function in a protein.

Concept Introduction:

Leptin binds to its receptors (Leptin receptors) having a specific membrane-spanning protein expressed within the central nervous system. Once Leptin binds to its receptors, it starts a complex and tough signal transduction pathway linking to the hormone transduction pathway.

what are the different classes and some examples of neuroprotectants that can be used to treat, prevent, or combat neurotoxicity/a neurotoxicant...for example, antioxidants, nutraceuticals, etc.,..?
Imagine that aldolase can react with the seven carbon molecule Sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphate (below). Use the mechanism to predict the two products generated. Please draw out the stereochemistry in a fischer projection.
Sodium borohydride (NaBH4) is a potent inhibitor of aldolase. It is known to ONLY inhibit theenzyme when it is complexed with substrate. Treatment of the enzyme alone has no effect.What is the mechanism for this inhibition? Please draw out the mechanism and show how it inhibits this.
