Presentation Transcript

  1. FATTY ACID OXIDATION

  2. OBJECTIVES • FATTY ACID OXIDATION • Explain fatty acid oxidation • Illustrate regulation of fatty acid oxidation • with reference to its clinical disorders

  3. GLUCOSE HOMEOSTASIS DURING FASTING

  4. Triacylglycerol Fatty acids Glycerol FATTY ACID OXIDATION saturated fatty acid: CH3-(CH2)n-COOH unsaturated fatty acid: CH3-CH=CH-(CH2)n-COOH polyunsaturated fatty acid: CH3-CH=CH-CH2-CH=CH-(CH2)n-COOH CH2----OOC-R1 CH2OH HOOC-R1 | | R2-COO----CH CHOH + HOOC-R2  | CH2----OOC-R3 CH2OH HOOC-R3 Lipolysis General structures of fatty acids and triacylglycerol. Lipolysis of stored triacylglycerol by lipases produces fatty acids plus glycerol.

  5. MOBILIZATION OF STORED FATS LIPOLYSIS

  6. BETA-OXIDATION OF FATTY ACIDS • Major pathway for catabolism of FA • Consists of four reactions: shortening of FA by 2 carbons • Oxidation: produces FADH2 • Hydration: produces NADH • Thiolytic cleavage: produces 2 acetylCoA

  7. ACTIVATION OF FATTY ACIDS TO ACYL-COA FATTYACYL-COA SYNTHETASES (THIOKINASE) R-COO- + CoA + ATP + H20 Acyl CoA + AMP + 2Pi + 2H+

  8. CARNITINE • Lysine and Methionine • Liver and Kidney

  9. CLINICAL ASPECTS 1.CARNITINE DEFICIENCY: • Inadequate biosynthesis Liver disease Malnutrition(Strict vegetarian diet) • Increase requirement Pregnancy, Infections, Burns, Trauma • Losses can also occur in hemodialysis • SYMPTOMS: Hypoglycemia during fast 

  10. Palmitoylcarnitine respiratory chain Palmitoylcarnitine Palmitoyl-CoA FAD oxidation FADH2 H2O hydration NAD+ recycle 6 times oxidation NADH cleavage CoA CH3-(CH)12-C-S-CoA + Acetyl CoA Citric acid cycle O 2 CO2 Carnitine translocase inner mitochondrial membrane matrix side 2 ATP 3 ATP Processing and -oxidation of palmitoyl CoA

  11. ENERGY YIELD FROM ß-OXIDATION • From PalmitoylCoA ATP Yield 7NADH x 3 ATP by ETC oxidation 21 7 FADH2 x 2 ATP by ETC oxidation 14 8 Acetyl CoA x 12 ATP via Krebs CAC 96 Total (Gross) 131 ATP Less 2 ATP NET 129 ATP From one molecule of PalmitoylCoA

  12. MEDIUM CHAIN FATTY ACIDS Less than 12 Carbon SOURCE Milk INHERITED DEFECTS • Autosomal recessive • Defects in Medium-chain fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase CLINICAL FEATURES Hypoglycemia

  13. OXIDATION OF FA WITH ODD NUMBER OF CARBONS

  14. OXIDATION OF UNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS

  15. PEROXISOMES OXIDIZE VERY LONG CHAIN FATTY ACIDS • Very long chain fatty acids i.e.,C22. • FAD-containing Acyl CoA oxidase causes initial dehydrogenation ZELLWEGER'S SYNDROME Genetic defect VLCFA accumulate in Blood and tissues.

  16. α- OXIDATION OF FATTY ACIDS • α-oxidation by Phytanoyl COA α-Hydroxylase (PhyH) • Carbon 1 is released as CO2 • 19 Carbon Pristanic acid, is activated to it’s CoA derivative and undergoes β-Oxidation

  17. REFSUM'S DISEASE A rare neurologic disorder caused by accumulation of Phytanic acid. Inherited deficiency in α–oxidation. Symptoms are primarily neurologic.

  18. w- OXIDATION OF FATTY ACIDS • w-oxidation is a minor pathway forming a Dicarboxylic acid. They subsequently undergo ß-oxidation and are excreted in the urine.
