Study Notes
Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA)
- DKA is a severe complication of diabetes, particularly prevalent in type 1 diabetes due to complete insulin deficiency.
- In type 2 diabetes, DKA can occur but may present as hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS), which does not involve ketoacidosis.
- Adipose tissue in HHS releases significantly fewer fatty acids compared to DKA conditions.
Oxidation of Fatty Acids
-
β-Oxidation Process:
- Involves phases where Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase transfers electrons to the mitochondrial respiratory chain.
- Includes hydration by enoyl-CoA hydratase and further oxidation by β-hydroxacyl-CoA dehydrogenase using NAD+.
- Acyl-CoA acetyltransferase cleaves off 2 carbon units, producing acetyl-CoA from saturated fatty acids.
- Palmitate (16 carbon units) yields 108 ATP molecules when oxidized to CO2 and H2O.
- Three isozymes of acyl-CoA dehydrogenase exist for varying chain lengths of fatty acids.
- Mono-unsaturated fatty acid oxidation involves D3,D2-enoyl-CoA isomerase.
- Odd-numbered fatty acids are dietary sources not stored in human cells and produce propionyl-CoA, further oxidized for energy.
Ketone Bodies
- Comprise acetone, acetoacetate, and D-β-hydroxybutyrate; synthesized mainly in liver mitochondria.
- Acetone acts as a minor byproduct and is typically exhaled.
- Ketogenesis starts with the condensation of acetyl-CoA catalyzed by thiolase, leading to acetoacetate formation.
- Ketone bodies are converted back into acetyl-CoA with β-ketoacyl-CoA transferase unavailable in the liver, preventing liver utilization as fuel.
Fatty Acid Synthesis
- Synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm, using acetyl-CoA, which is transported from mitochondria as it cannot cross the mitochondrial membrane directly.
- Acetyl-CoA carboxylase catalyzes the committed step of fatty acid synthesis and is a primary target for hormonal regulation, producing malonyl-CoA.
- Fatty Acid Synthase (FAS) operates as a single polypeptide housing multiple enzymatic activities necessary for sequential fatty acid elongation.
- The process involves thioester linkages, attachment to acyl carrier protein (ACP), and a cyclical condensation and reduction process utilizing NADPH.
