Figure 25-1 Mechanism of interfacial activation of triacylglycerol lipase in complex with colipase. Voet Biochemistry 3e Page 910 Pancreatic (origin) lipase acts on mixed micelles (substrate). Lipid interaction exposes the active site to allow ester hydrolysis of triacylglycerides, generating free fatty acids.

Glucagon, which signals a need to increase blood glucose, also calls for fatty acid release. It really signals we need more energy rich molecules. Glycerol-3-P Voet Biochemistry 3e Page 929 DHAP Glycolysis

Regulation of β-oxidation Fatty acids are a crucial energy reserve and must be administered carefully. Carnitine transferase is inhibited by malonyl- CoA, the feed stock for fatty acid synthesis. Once a fatty acid is in the mitochondria, it is burned up. Voet Biochemistry 3e β-hydroxyacyl-coa dehydrogenase is inhibited by NADH, slowing catabolism when energy levels are high. Thiolase in inhibited by high concentrations of AcCoA

You can t just stick it on C3 of propionyl CoA, because there is no way to stabilize the carbanion character needed for the attack. Ahh. This looks familiar B12

Lipid Metabolism 8. Ketone Bodies Voet Biochemistry 3e The ketone bodies are a form of soluble lipid ; they reach fairly high blood concentrations, 0.3 mm. The ketone bodies are readily converted to AcCoA and drop straight into the TCA cycle. They are used by heart and kidney, and the brain can adapt to use ketone bodies after several days of starvation.
. Note: We will see these first 2 steps later in steroid biosynthesis. Ketone bodies Voet Biochemistry 3e Page 929
Figure 25-26 The metabolic conversion of ketone bodies to acetyl-coa. Voet Biochemistry 3e Page 929 3-ketoacyl-CoA transferase is an alternative to the action of succinylcoa synthetase in TCA. Each ketone body activation therefore costs a GTP. The liver lacks the transferase since it only wants to make ketone bodies for other tissues.
Conditions that accelerate gluconeogenesis, like starvation or diabetes, drain TCA intermediates and slow that cycle. Malonyl CoA is not formed and so carnitine transferase shuttles fatty acids through β-ox. AcCoA accumulates and ketone bodies pour out of the liver. They are acidic and lead to acidosis and ketosis. Voet Biochemistry 3e Page 929 Recall, in mammals there can be no NET synthesis of glucose for fatty acids.
