Q3. Describe five possible fates for glucose 6-phosphate in the liver.
5
Q3 answer (1) conversion to liver glycogen; (2) dephosphorylation and release of glucose into bloodstream; (3) oxidation via the pentose phosphate pathway; (4) oxidation via glycolysis and the citric acid cycle; (5) oxidation to acetyl-CoA, which then serves as precursor for synthesis of triacylglycerols, phospholipids, and cholesterol.
6
Q4. What is leptin? How does it function in the long-term maintenance of body mass?
7
Q4 Answer Leptin is a small polypeptide that is produced in adipocytes and is carried by the blood to the brain. It is produced when there are adequate stores of lipid in the adipocytes and interacts with a receptor in the hypothalamus. This interaction produces a cascade of effects that tend to suppress appetite and increase energy expenditure.

Q 19. Which of these statements about the regulation of cholesterol synthesis is not true?
Cholesterol acquired in the diet has essentially no effect on the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver. Failure to regulate cholesterol synthesis predisposes humans to atherosclerosis. High intracellular cholesterol stimulates formation of cholesterol esters. Insulin stimulates HMG-CoA reductase. Some metabolite or derivative of cholesterol inhibits HMG-CoA reductase.

Q22. Which of the following statements about metabolism in the mammalian liver is false?
Most plasma lipoproteins are synthesized in the liver. The enzymatic complement of liver tissue changes in response to changes in the diet. The liver synthesizes most of the urea produced in the body. The presence of glucose 6-phosphatase makes liver uniquely able to release glucose into the bloodstream. Under certain conditions, most of the functions of the liver can be performed by other organs.

Q30 The following figures were selected to review them. You need to study each figure in detail and understand what is being emphasized there, GOOD LUCK!

FIGURE Fuel metabolism in the liver during prolonged fasting or in uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. After depletion of stored carbohydrates, proteins become an important source of glucose, produced from glucogenic amino acids by gluconeogenesis (1 to 4). Fatty acids imported from adipose tissue are converted to ketone bodies for export to the brain (5 to 8). Broken arrows represent reactions with reduced flux under these conditions. The steps are further described in the text.

FIGURE 21-7 Beginning of the second round of the fatty acid synthesis cycle. The butyryl group is on the Cys —SH group. The incoming malonyl group is first attached to the phosphopantetheine ムSH group. Then, in the condensation step, the entire butyryl group on the Cys —SH is exchanged for the carboxyl group of the malonyl residue, which is lost as CO2 (green). This step is analogous to step 1 in Figure The product, a six-carbon β-ketoacyl group, now contains four carbons derived from malonyl-CoA and two derived from the acetyl-CoA that started the reaction. The β-ketoacyl group then undergoes steps 2 through 4, as in Figure 21-6.
