Starvation diets High protein, low fat, low carbohydrate diets. Ketone bodies Effect of insulin and epinephrine on metabolism Introduction Fats are broken down to fatty acids omaga 3 fatty acids and glycerol. Glycerol enters the glycolytic/glucogenic pathway via glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate. Fatty acids omaga 3 fatty acids are oxidized to Acetyl CoA. They then enter the TCA cycle to be degraded to carbon dioxide for energy or converted to amino acid omaga 3 fatty acids via TCA cycle intermediates. Fatty acid metabolism and diets Fat breakdown Fats occur in fat cells located in adipose tissue. (Pinch your waist to feel some). The fatty acids are released from the fats by lipases. (Three lipases are involved in the hydrolysis of a triacylglyceride). The fatty acids and glycerol are then released into the blood stream. The glycerol is then converted to glyceraldehyde 3 P which is then processed by glycolysis or gluconeogenesis. The fatty acids are oxidized to acetyl CoA. Fatty acid activation and transport into the mitrochondria Fatty acids are taken up from the blood stream by the cells in the liver and is then activated to form an acyl-CoA.
