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. D.Explain how stimulation of the rate of fatty acid synthesis changes the rate of fatty acid oxidation based on allosteric regulation of the rate-limiting step of beta-oxidation.

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.

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?

Problem 1: For your new year's resolution, you resolve to lose 5lbs of body fat through physical exercise. If you work out hard, you can generate 200 W of mechanical power and be 20% efficient at it. How long will you have to exercise at this rate to burn the desired amount of fat? If you chose to diet instead and cut your food intake of 2400 kcal/day to 1600 kcal/day, how long will it take you to lose the desired amount of weight?
