Problem 2. Lactic acidosis (abnormally high concentration of lactic acid in blood) occurs because of shock. 1. Explain how low oxygen levels promote lactate production. 2. Explain how maintaining low energy charge measured by the [NADH]/[NAD'] is crucial for continued production of lactate. 3. Explain how low [NADH]/[NAD'] is maintained while oxygen levels remain low.

Problem 3. Excess alcohol consumption can result in fatty liver disease. Liver cells synthesize triacylglycerides from fatty acids formed by fatty acid synthesis. Excess triacylglycerides can accumulate in the liver compromising normal liver function. A.Explain how palmitoyl-CoA is related to fatty acyl CoASH esters (acyl-CoA) B.Explain how increasing the rate of triglyceride formation changes the concentration of acyl-CoA in the cytosol. C.Explain how the rate of triglyceride formation stimulates the rate of fatty acid synthesis based on the concentration of palmitoyl-CoA in the cytosol
Problem 2. When alcohol is consumed in excessive quantities, the resulting levels of NADH cause metabolic abnormalities, and one of which is high levels of fatty acid synthesis. Fatty acid synthesis, also a cytoplasmic process, uses acetyl-CoA as a substrate and NADPH as a reducing agent. Based on the above, we can see how acetate is converted to acetyl-CoA in the mitochondria, but fatty acid synthesis takes place in the cytosol. Complete the analysis by accounting for high acetyl-CoA concentration in the cytosol. Study the summary of reactions of citrate metabolism. E. How would increasing the rate of the reaction catalyzed by malate dehydrogenase decrease the concentration of oxaloacetic acid (OAA) in the cytosol? F. How would decreasing the concentration of OAA increase the concentration of acetyl-CoA in the cytosol by Le Chatelier’s principle?
Situational Problems 1. With the prevalence in food of peeled cereals or bread made from high-grade flour, hypovitaminosis B1 may occur. Explain the role that vitamin B, plays in the body. For this: a) name the coenzyme which contains vitamin B, and enzymes, which require this coenzyme to function; b) write the process in which these enzymes are involved and explain how the process speed will change with a lack of B,; d) what discase develops in the absence of vitamin B,.
Energy calculations They will complete both exercises related to energy calculations. A. Charlie is a 5-year-old, entire, male, mixed breed dog who has been admitted for treatment. The vet has diagnosed pancreatitis.

Question: Role of the triacyl glycerol cycle. Summarize the cycle referring to Figure 19.9. What role does the cycle play in metabolism? Here are some infromation: Metabolic integration within the human body depends on the redistribution of metabolites, ions, and hormones by the circulatory system. This complex network consists of ∼150,000 km of blood vessels (from major veins and arteries to microcapillaries) that recycle 6 L of blood every minute throughout the body. The circulatory system links together the major tissues and organs of the body in such a way that biochemical pathways in different cells share metabolites, ensuring that the metabolic efficiency of the whole organism is greater than the sum of its parts. This process of maintaining optimal metabolite concentrations and managing chemical energy reserves in tissues is called metabolic homeostasis. This term describes steady-state conditions that apply to a wide variety of physiologic parameters. Metabolic homeostasis is…

QUESTION: Since in this patient pyruvate kinase is abnormal not only is less pyruvate made but intermediates above pyruvate in the glycolytic pathway build up slowing the pathway. Which of the following products may not be made in the appropriate amounts in the RBC because of the deficiency of pyruvate? A. Glucose B. Oxaloacetate C. acetyl-CoA D. Lactate CASE STUDY # 2 A 2-year-old black girl is being seen by the hematologist after her pediatrician found her to be severely anemic with splenomegaly and jaundice. Her mother gives a possible history of a "blood problem" in her family but doesn't know for sure. Her hemoglobin electrophoresis was normal, and the complete blood count (CBC) revealed a normocytic anemia. The platelet and white blood cell counts are normal. On the peripheral smear, there are many bizarre erythrocytes, including spiculated cells. A diagnosis of pyruvate kinase deficiency is made. BIOCHEMICAL MECHANISM: Pyruvate kinase deficiency usually will manifest clinical…
Question: Compare and contrast the complications/consequences of hypo/hyperglycemia. (Can you also include nursing actions/interventions for hypo/hyperglycemia?) I understand this may take longer than 30 minutes to answer, I just need someone to break it down for me. Glucose regulation is hard for me to wrap my head around for Med-Surg. Is this question asking about DKA and HHS? HELP, my test is Monday. thank you!
