Questions and Answers

Which of the following is NOT a function of Carnitine Acyl Transferase I (CAT-I) in cardiac muscle?

  • Facilitating transport of acyl-CoA into mitochondria
  • Regenerating acyl-CoA from acyl-carnitine in the mitochondrial matrix (correct)
  • Activating long-chain fatty acids to acyl-CoA
  • Inhibition by malonyl-CoA

    • Which of the following is TRUE regarding the fate of long-chain fatty acyl-CoA in cardiac muscle?

  • It is directly transported into the mitochondrial matrix without any modification
  • It can be converted to acyl-carnitine by CAT-I and transported into mitochondria (correct)
  • It is primarily used for the synthesis of phospholipids in the sarcolemma
  • It is primarily used for the synthesis of triglycerides

    • Which of the following statements is correct regarding the energy yield from the complete oxidation of a C16 fatty acid (palmitate) in cardiac muscle?
