Sinteza corpilor cetonici
(cetogeneza)
Principala cale de metabolizare a acetil CoA – includerea în ciclul Krebs (în condiţiile în care scindarealipidelor şi a glucidelor este echilibrată) - “lipidele ard înflacăra glucidelor”
În lipsa glucidelor; inaniţie, diabet - OA se utilizeazăpentru generarea Gl. În lipsa OA, Acetil Co A recurge la formarea corpilor
cetonici: acetoacetatul, β-hidrohibutiratul şiacetona
Sinteza lor are loc în ficat, dar se utilizează de ţesuturileperiferice
Au rol energetic (muşchiul cardiac, stratul cortical alrinichilor)

Utilizarea corpilor cetonici
Acetoacetatul – 2 mol de acetilCoA, utilizate ulterior în ciclulKrebs (23 ATP)
A doua cale de activare aacetoacetatului poate fi:
Acetona:1. pînă la propandiol (CH3-CHOH-
CH2OH) , scindat la fragmente acetil şiformil
2. Transformată în piruvat (prin hidroxilaredublă)

Diete bogate în lipide, sărace în glucide; inaniţie,diabet, dereglări gastrointestinale la copii saugravide; glucozurie renală

Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase, which converts acetyl-CoA tomalonyl-CoA, is the committed step of the fatty acidsynthesis pathway.
The mammalian enzyme is regulated, by
phosphorylation
allosteric control by local metabolites.Conformational changes associated with regulation:
In the active conformation, Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase
associates to form multimeric filamentous complexes. Transition to the inactive conformation is associated
with dissociation to yield the monomeric form of theenzyme (protomer).

When AMP is high (ATP low), malonyl-CoA production isdiminished, releasing fatty acid oxidation from inhibition.
This will lead to increased ATP production.
AMP-Activated Kinase has a significant role evenin tissues (e.g., cardiac
muscle) that do notsignificantly synthesize fattyacids.
In such tissues malonyl-CoA , produced via oneisoform of Acetyl-CoACarboxylase, functionsmainly as an inhibitor offatty acid oxidation.

Fatty acid synthesis from acetyl-CoA & malonyl-CoAoccurs by a series of reactions that are:
in bacteria catalyzed by 6 different enzymes plus aseparate acyl carrier protein (ACP)
in mammals catalyzed by individual domains of a very
large polypeptide that includes an ACP domain.Evolution of the mammalian Fatty Acid Synthaseapparently has involved gene fusion.
NADPH serves as electron donor in the two reactionsinvolving substrate reduction.
The NADPH is produced mainly by the Pentose PhosphatePathway.

Fatty Acid Synthase is transcriptionally regulated.In liver:
Insulin, a hormone produced when blood glucose ishigh, stimulates Fatty Acid Synthase expression. Thus excess glucose is stored as fat. Transcription factors that that mediate the stimulatory
effect of insulin include USFs (upstream stimulatoryfactors) and SREBP-1.SREBPs (sterol response element binding proteins)
were first identified for their regulation of cholesterol
synthesis. Polyunsaturated fatty acids diminish transcription of
the Fatty Acid Synthase gene in liver cells, bysuppressing production of SREBPs.
8/13/2019 Sinteza AG
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/sinteza-ag 63/71
In fat cells:
Expression of SREBP-1 and of Fatty Acid Synthase isinhibited by leptin, a hormone that has a role in regulatingfood intake and fat metabolism.
Leptin is produced by fat cells in response to excess fatstorage.
Leptin regulates body weight by decreasing food intake,
increasing energy expenditure, and inhibiting fatty acidsynthesis.

Elongation beyond the 16-C length of the palmitate productof Fatty Acid Synthase occurs in mitochondria andendoplasmic reticulum (ER).
Fatty acid elongation within mitochondria involves the-oxidation pathway running in reverse, but NADPH
serves as electron donor for the final reduction step.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids esterified to CoA aresubstrates for the ER elongation machinery, which usesmalonyl-CoA as donor of 2-carbon units.
The reaction sequence is similar to Fatty Acid Synthase
but individual steps are catalyzed by separate proteins. A family of enzymes designated Fatty Acid Elongases catalyze the initial condensation step for elongation of
saturated or polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Desaturases introduce double bonds at specific
positions in a fatty acid chain.Mammalian cells are unable to produce double bonds atcertain locations, e.g., D12.
Thus some polyunsaturated fatty acids are dietaryessentials, e.g., linoleic acid, 18:2 cis D9,12 (18 C atomslong, with cis double bonds at carbons 9-10 & 12-13).

Formation of a double bond in a fatty acid involves thefollowing endoplasmic reticulum membrane proteins in
mammalian cells: NADH-cyt b5 Reductase, a flavoprotein with FAD
as prosthetic group.
Cytochrome b5, which may be a separate protein or adomain at one end of the desaturase.
Desaturase, with an active site that contains twoiron atoms complexed by histidine residues.

The desaturase catalyzes a mixed function oxidation reaction.
There is a 4-electron reduction of O2 2 H2O as a fattyacid is oxidized to form a double bond.
2e pass f rom NADH to the desaturase via theFAD-containing reductase & cytochrome b5, the
order of electron transfer being:NADH FAD cyt b5 desaturase
2e are extracted from the fatty acid as the double
bond is formed.E.g., the overall reaction for desaturation of stearate (18:0)to form oleate (18:1 cis D9 ) is:stearate + NADH + H+ + O2 oleate + NAD+ +
2H2O
