Chapter 17, Problem 10P
Interpretation Introduction

(a) Interpretation:

The relationship between intracellular malonyl-CoA levels in the liver and the control of ketogenesis.

Concept introduction:

Ketogenesis can be defined as the process of the formation of the ketone bodies. It is alternate pathway for the active acetates. The levels of the ketone bodies in different person's bodies varies. The maintenance of healthy levels of the ketone bodies in the body is necessary for proper metabolic functions.

Interpretation Introduction

(b) Interpretation:

The process by which the action of hexokinase IV helps the liver to buffer the blood glucose level.

Concept introduction:

The hexokinase IV is a pancreatic beta cell/liver enzyme whose level is controlled by the levels of insulin. The G6P levels have no effect on the levels of this enzyme. Due to this lack of inhibition, high blood glucose levels can lead to the formation of the stockpile of G6P, which will convert it to glycogen for future use.
