- What pathway is responsible for the synthesis of glucose from simple precursors?arrow_forwardLeigh syndrome is characterized by psychomotor regression: that is, the progressive loss of mental andmovement abilities. Patients also suffer from lacticacidosis, a condition in which mitochondrial respiration is deficient, so their tissues metabolize glucoseanaerobically, leading to the buildup of lactate. Somepatients with Leigh syndrome have a mutation in themitochondrial gene MT-CO3, which encodes a subunit of the electron transport complex cytochromec oxidase. Other patients diagnosed with Leigh syndrome have a loss-of-function mutation in the nucleargene SURF1, which encodes a factor needed for theassembly of this same enzyme complex.a. How can the same symptoms result from mutationsin a mitochondrial gene and from mutations in anuclear gene?arrow_forwardAn increase in the amount of stored lipids leads to changes in the expression of many hormones. One such hormone is tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α). A change in expression of this hormone can lead to a change in the free fatty acid level, which, in turn, decreases insulin sensitivity. Place the steps of this process in order.arrow_forward
