  1. BIOC 460 DR. TISCHLER LECTURE 34 SYNTHESIS & PROCESSING OF FATS

  2. OBJECTIVES • Sequence leading from glucose to fatty acids via lipogenesis including roles of pyruvate carboxylase and pyruvate dehydrogenase. • Malic enzyme and acetyl CoA carboxylase • 3. For fatty acid synthase: • a) substrates/key products; b) sources of NADPH; • c) general mechanism • Relationship: regulation of carnitine-palmitoyl transferase-I and preventing oxidation of synthesized palmitoyl CoA • 5. Eicosanoids: • a) fatty acid from which they are derived; • b) specific functions of each eicosanoid; • c) general pathway of production; effects of glucocorticoids (cortisol) and aspirin

  3. LIPOGENESIS • principally in adipose tissue and liver • lipogenesis – cytoplasm; requires acetyl CoA • adipose: FA stored as triacylglycerols via esterification • liver: produces TAG packaged into VLDL and exported • compounds metabolized to acetyl CoA can serve as a fat precursor • glucose = primary source of carbons for fat synthesis.
