5. A young woman decided to lose weight and abstained from fat-containing food
for several months. Her diet contained an increased amount of carbohydrates
relative to the norm, and her weight increased. Explain the reason for weight
gain in this case. For answer:
a) name the daily intake of carbohydrates with normal nutrition and explain
how the insulin/glucagon ratio changes in this situation;
b) draw a diagram of fat metabolic pathway with its clevated rate that led to
increased weight;
9.4. Hormonal Regulation of Fuel Metabolism at Normal Nutrition Rhythm
517
c) draw a diagram of the fatty acid metabolic pathway that has its rate increased
under these conditions;
d) describe the process regulation mentioned in c), write the regulatory reaction
of this process, name the key enzyme, its activators and inhibitors;
e) name all metabolic pathways of glucose that provide the precursors formation
for the fatty acids synthesis, and list all needed components formed from
glucose.
