Exam 23: The Metabolism of Fatty Acids and Triglycerides

A deficiency of which of the following proteins is least likely to impair the utilization of adipose tissue triglyceride for ATP production in muscle tissue?

After a carbohydrate meal you can expect to find a high activity of _____ and low plasma levels of _____.

The oxidation of fatty acids in the liver during fasting produces large amounts of acetyl-CoA, the reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), and ATP.All of these products affect carbohydrate metabolism by:

A patient presents with low blood levels of glucose and ketones in plasma during fasting, accompanied by a high level of plasma free fatty acids.A urine analysis reveals high levels of dicarboxylic acids.The patient is most likely to benefit from:

A 23-year-old woman has just eaten a meal consisting mainly of carbohydrates.Which of the following best describes the activity of LPL and hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) in adipose tissue of this individual?

A patient complains about frequent aches and pains in his muscles.A blood test shows increased levels of creatine kinase MM, fatty acids and also myoglobin.A second blood sample, this time taken after an overnight fast, revealed low levels of blood glucose and elevated VLDL.This patient most likely has which of the following conditions?

A student who lives on only soft drinks and chocolate bars will have very little ẞ-oxidation of fatty acids in his liver.Why?

Epinephrine acts by phosphorylating and activating hormone-sensitive lipase in a matter of minutes.One hormone that can facilitate lipolysis in the long term by stimulating the synthesis of the enzyme is:

In adipocytes, protein kinase A activates lipolysis by phosphorylating two proteins.These proteins are:

A patient presents with low blood levels of glucose and ketones in plasma accompanied by high fatty acid levels.A urine analysis reveals high levels of dicarboxylic acids.This patient will most likely benefit from:

The stimulation of fatty acid biosynthesis in the liver is achieved by:

Ketone bodies can be used as a source of metabolic energy by most tissues.One tissue that cannot oxidize ketone bodies is:
